second lesson learned...


I am still sewing.


I have more fabric.


It is too hot to do anything outside.


I cut yet another skirt out of my FAVORITE fabric so far. This old fashioned, granny paisley.
Love, Love, Love!!!


Did I mention I LOVE this fabric?


Makes me think of sitting on the front porch swing (who has one of those anymore? I think I need one!) on a hot muggy afternoon where there are lots of fluffy white clouds and you just know it's going to rain, sipping a sweating glass of homemade lemonade with mint leaves floating around.


Anyway, I got sidetracked.....


There wasn't enough of this fabric that I absolutely am in love with to make my skirt. So I had to get super creative. I ended up making the waist band half the width (heigth) it is supposed to be.....


now wouldn't you know I like it better this way than on all the other skirts I have finished???
