Skirt Making

Tomorrow night for mutual, my girls will be finishing sewing the skirts that we began last summer. (I know, I'm a slacker.) So, one of the girls mom is a super sewer and she took charge of this activity when we started, but she is not able to come tomorrow night - so me and my lack of sewing skills am on my own. She did walk me through the skirt making process over the phone and it's really easy. Just to make sure, I thought I'd throw one together real quick this afternoon just to make sure everything goes smoothly tomorrow night.

I had some extra fabric hanging around (I actually have a LOT of fabric hanging around for someone who doesn't sew.) I don't know why I used this purple fabric. I do not own a single purple article of clothing. Austin took the picture below so that's why it's a little fuzzy. (Don't worry, I asked him to take it from the waist down - I didn't straighten my hair today and it's in a wavy nasty ponytail - gasp!)
Truth be told, I don't like the skirt at all. I doubt I'll even wear it. I wish it were more flowy (is that a word?). It just felt stiff and straight. Maybe once I wash it it'll chill out a little. But I did master the skirt making for the purpose of mutual tomorrow. Tomorrow afternoon I need to master the 3 tier skirt that most of the girls are working on - though I doubt I'll have time with a 3 month old in the house all day. (babysitting)
