Oh Yeah, I'm Gonna Make it Again!

I wore my new skirt, Simplicity 3794, to work today.

It was quite a hit. Several people at work told me I looked very nice today and some random woman at Walmart commented on how snazzy my outfit was. I just don't get comments like this every day. So yeah, I'm gonna make another one of these!

I really do like this skirt. It's cute, it's comfortable, and it's quick and easy to put together. I highly recommend it. I made view C out of 100% quilting cotton. The pattern calls for lining, but I didn't do it. I figured the fabric is opaque and I'm going to be wearing a slip with it so I don't need it. But after a couple of hours of sitting at a desk, I did get some wrinkles across my lap, so I might line the next one just to see if it helps cut down on the wrinkles. I love that this skirt has a waist band. This particular waistband is cut on the bias and that coupled with the knit interfacing I used gave it a bit of "give" which I think added to the comfort level. You can't see the waistband in my picture, but trust me, I felt better having it even though it can't be seen.

I may search my stash later tonight for other suitable skirt fabrics. In the meantime, I have a project to work on for my son. He wants to get in on the sewing blog action, too. I figure I better take advantage before he decides he's too grown up to have mom sewing for him.
