Skirts

Since I retired I've pretty much worn trousers all of the time, unless I was 'dressed up'. And my wardrobe has gradually reflected that. Then during this past summer I wondered why. I started wearing skirts and dresses much more and really enjoying it. So I've made myself three new skirts for the winter. I've used the same pattern, since the first one I made fitted pretty well and I also feel good that I've got my money's worth. Aren't paper patterns expensive now?

Burgundy jumbo cord

Tartan wool. I'm tempted to buy some more of this to make a dressing gown, it's so warm and costy.

I've noticed that about paper patterns too. These are really beautiful, Amanda. Gosh, I haven't worn a skirt in forever. I'll bet it would be cooler for me. Hmmm...

Nicely done. I quit sewing clothing when I started quilting about 25 years ago.
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you.
