the green scene continues

I think I kicked my fatigue thing! I caffeinated the yin yang out of myself yesterday, and that seemed to freak out my body enough to hoist it out of its fatigue hold. Weird. Anyway, I managed to finish up another Favorite Things skirt.

This fabric is a gingham that has little daisies on it. It’s 50/50, which made me hesitate, but then I decided I didn’t care, and really, that 50% polyester gives it the oomph it needs to hang and not stick to my underwear, which is a good thing.
Thanks for all the cheeky advice! Next time you see me, I will be all rouged up for sure.

    The use of “not stick to my butt” and “cheeky” in successive sentences made me giggle. I love skirts year-around, and the sticking is the worst part of it all. It’s hard to appear ladylike picking at your skirt.

    if you’d just start wearing a thong you wouldn’t have to worry about the stick! you never listen to me 🙂

    um, your skirt is laying pretty flat– did you leave out a panel? perhaps my ass is just too large and creates an explosion of fabric on the behind which aftershocks over into the front.
    oh wait. it could just be that you are slim skinny little.

    Cute skirt!
    After seeing all these “cute skirts” from favorite things, I ordered myself the pattern last night!

    Good work! It looks so professional! I think I need to stop visiting your website, you’re giving me itchy fingers to take-up sewing clothes again after about a 20-year hiatus, but my goal is to stick to one craft right now: knitting.
