When Maggie and I are not studying together, we are usually sewing together. This polka-dot fabric was a second-hand store find that almost jumped off the rack, begging us to make it into matching skirts. Academia intervened, and it sat sadly in a drawer until today, when we treated ourselves by taking it out, acting just a little bit silly, and then measuring and cutting out our skirts.
The skirt design we are making comes from this deliciously simple tutorial by Susan Peterson at Freshly Picked.
Measure, cut, smile!
We were responsible enough to leave our sewing fun at that, and save the rest for another day. I'll be sure to update you on the skirts once they are made. Soon, I will also be able to spend a lot more time on preparations for Twilight Tree Handicrafts, and will post about my trials and triumphs in both sewing and internet marketing.
Right now, though, I hear that great eighteenth-century poet Alexander Pope calling to me: Tis hard to say if greater want of skill / Appears in writing or in studying ill.
...that's how it goes, right?
