Well, I finished the hand-stitched hem on the skirt I was making, and I wore it on our little trip to Hart’s last Monday!

Can you believe that this MoMo Wonderland twill fabric has lasted in my stash this long? This was two fabric lines ago for this designer. I got this on a trip to Satin Moon in San Francisco a year ago. I do still have the the tomato colorway and it might just end up as a skirt like this as well. We’ll have to wait and see.

My sister recently sent me a wool skirt from the Gap that she really loves and wanted to know if I could copy it and make her another. It was just a simple A-line skirt, cut on the bias, with a center back zipper (it had an invisible one) and two darts in the back. It was my first time really copying ready-to-wear (unless you count copying underwear, but I was able to cut that apart to make pattern pieces!). This skirt was easy peasy to copy. In fact, I was able to make some minor adjustments to the pattern for her and, voila! I had a skirt for me.

Oh, and the muslin I made for her actually fits as well!

And here I am at Hart’s wearing my awesome new skirt, with Dolin who is wearing the awesome dress that she just finished! We are having our photo taken with a display of Kokka fabrics like it’s some kind of movie star. Dorky, but fun!
