SKoTM

I didn't forget, although I know it's February 27th (well probably 28th by now) I've been fighting with the computer and the camera. The camera takes a perfectly good picture, I download it and it becomes squat and fat. I can't figure it out. So here is a squat and fat picture of the skirt.



And a weird angle and pixelated picture of me in it.


The fabric is a lovely sheer but it had to be backed and I chose a heavier weight fabric. It may be too heavy. Not wanting to fuss with the sheer and sewing down pleats I made a yoke of the black backing fabric. I'm not 100% sure I like it but since my shirts will almost always cover it, I suppose it will be fine. I also could have made the yoke slightly smaller but it would also have necessitated less fabric in the skirt I think. This skirt has fought me every inch of the way which is why you have not heard of it sooner. I feared that there would be such language coming out of my mouth so as not to be becoming a lady. Let's just say I'm glad it's done and although it may not be quite what I would wish I am not tearing into it again!
