The skirt that wouldn't end...

Still making this skirt, it's the skirt that never ends.  And, I am not sure I even like it.  I even ran out of thread and had to run to Brooklyn General to stock up.  I took my neighbor Kate who is 9, and I let her pick out some fabric for a blouse.  She is so excited.  I'm going to teach her how to sew.  It's very sweet.  Anyway, worked all day, gathering, sewing, patching.  Should be finished tomorrow...

Patchwork Skirt

Day 2: I'm on my third project, a patchwork skirt by Portobellopixie Boutique Patterns. I find the pattern a little confusing, and there are a couple of mistakes, but overall the pictures and layout are good...we'll see how it turns out. Also I couldn't tell where the fabrics would end up, and I'm not sure I love the way it turned out. Here is where I am so far...

This is my second sewing project - Simple Peasant Dress from www.thehandmadedress.net designed by Samantha Caffee. My daughter helped with the sash - fortunately it was my favorite color also.

First post...

OK, just started my first blog. Very exciting. I am not sure what to do here, first thing I can say is I've been home sick today. Waiting for my daughter to come home from school with the babysitter. I started sewing again, the reason for this blog really, I am very inspired by all the other blogs I've discovered on here. I'm working on a patchwork skirt for my daughter. I've already made the Twirly Skirt from HouseonHillRoad.com and a Peasant Dress. I'll see if I can figure out how to upload the photos.
