A New Skirt

Ever since the day after Christmas I have been on a sewing frenzy.  Walk into the sewing room and you might see thread and fabric flying, scissors being tossed to and fro, and a seemingly frantic looking woman (me) rushing between the cutting counter, the machines and the ironing board.  Good thing I am not actually frantic...it just might look that way to casual passers-by.

Here is a skirt that I started last night and finished this morning.  It is one of the easiest skirts to make in the history of the world.  It is the skirt pattern that I used for nearly all of my mission skirts.  I think I have made at least 10 of these and my mom has made some too.  We really got our $1.00 worth out of this pattern.

I wasn't too sure that the vertical stripe would work out, but the fabric was in my colors and it was $3.00/yard = just my price.  I think it turned out pretty cute.  The top yoke with the diagonal stripe won't be seen much since I'll have a top on to cover it. 

Here is a close up of the fabric.  I think it is so cute and delicate.  It reminds me of little girl sheets.  I saved my leftovers thinking I could make a doll quilt or pillowcase or something like that.
