Well done UttaRetch, that skirt is lovely and just the beginning, I am sure you will find the other two will go together much more quickly. Now do not be surprised at what fabrics you will find in New York, hope you have room in your luggage for the haul, and then you will be itching to get stitching once you get home.
You never know a new home may be on the horizon and a returned sewing mo jo!!!
Have a wonderful time wearing your new skirts – you clever lady. I also seem to remember a very pretty one that you just made up quickly when your sister had a birthday, that looked lovely – are you still wearing this?
