New skirt

I haven't posted in quite a while. I did work on a couple projects. I made a quick costume for a birthday party (shout out to Michele!) including a red knit hat. I liked it better than I thought I would. I'll post some pictures of is soon-ish. I also worked on modifying a prom dress for my younger daughter, Shannon. It didn't work out as planned and I bought her a dress which was beautiful. Maybe next year! I'd really like to make some nicer dresses after a bit of practice. My goal would be to make a dress I really like for me in time for my brother's wedding next year. I think it is do-able!

I didn't quite finish the brown skirt I started and showed on my previous post. I put in the invisible zipper, but finishing the top edge has eluded me. A regular zipper finishes quite easily. what to do? Well, I am going to join a skirt sew a long that A Fashionable Stich is sponsoring! I think this will really help as there will be other people sewing the same thing and I will be able to ask questions and can post pictures as I go along. Then, hopefully, I can finish the brown skirt!
