An Almost Finished Skirt....




Well, I ran out of thread! This type of skirt uses A LOT of thread. I need to get the elastic it calls for too. I think the biggest challenge with this skirt was the layout and making my fabric work.
I thought about cutting a pattern from brown craft paper, but instead decided to just measure, press, and cut.
I think it is turning out really cute, though the pictures do not do it justice.

I have to make a trip to town today anyway, so I'll pick up the thread and elastic. I've never made the kind of waist band this skirt calls for, so it should be interesting! But after the town trip and before working on it, I will be getting back to Anti-Procrastination Week. My goals for today are to do the windows/blinds in at least two more rooms and to clean out the floor vents of the rooms whose windows are done.
