The best thing about the skirt is that you learned things and each subsequent one will be better and better. The fabric is pretty too. I agree with Disco Goth, get some cheap fabric, a second hand quilt cover or something and practice.<br />Congrats on the stylish blogger too, I do that thing with food too :)<br />p.s. there is a little gift in the post for you as promised on my Pay it Forward.<br />Kandi xKandihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05765946096687063480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6307704515809716636.post-89810762233786094642010-07-11T15:15:14.204+01:002010-07-11T15:15:14.204+01:00Wow!

Have fun, play around with cheap fabric, make sure that if you use patterns they are Burda or Prima magazine patterns (that's my rule anyway, they are the best fit)and ignore what anyone says about going by the measurements, always do the same size as your RTW size. Whoops, sorry, small pattern rant took over there but I promise it is good advice!<br /><br />xxDisco Gothhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14000883290491760463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6307704515809716636.post-81549831464097355882010-07-11T14:15:43.934+01:002010-07-11T14:15:43.934+01:00Its really cute!
