New Skirt
I made a skirt in my sewing class. It is a pencil skirt with a green leafy pattern. It was really fun to make and learn how to do things like darts, zippers, and a blind hem. I lengthened the pattern by 5" and it only just passes my knee when I sit, good thing I did! I should probably press out that fold in the front before I wear it somewhere. I also made pajama pants and am in the process of a purple blouse. I will make Brian a pair of cargo shorts also. I love this sewing class, it is my favorite part of the week and at least 2 days a week I spend about 6 hours in the lab because it is so fun and I want to do everything right and get good at sewing well.

Make sure to lengthen it, the pattern is very short.
I made the one with the small waistband, the big waistband would be stylish also.
cute!
What a great talent you're developing! I wish that I had taken some fun/useful classes like that! I was in such a hurry to graduate, I just did what I had to!!! Good thing I was an ElEd major, or I might not have had any fun!!!!! (: Someday when you visit Texas (hint, hint!), you'll have to teach me some sewing skills.
