Sew along
An article by Rachel
Apparently, May is the month for skirts. Sew Mama Sew has declared May skirt month. You can check out the Sew-Along flickr group. This group is just the beginning. Chara & MéLisa have also started a Sew What! sew-along. This sew-along is based on patterns from Sew What! Skirts. Participants can add their photos to the Sew What! flickr group.
What does this mean to me? It is time whip up some skirts for the nice Spring/Summer weather. In fact, I’ve talked a friend into joining the fun. On Saturday we went shopping for fabric. Right now, I only have pictures of my own fabric.
From my stash, I’m going to make skirt from this fabric. It is an Aunt Grace print from around 2002.
Now for a close-up:
This is the new fabric that I purchased on Saturday. It is a lovely white linen with embroidered flowers. I’m excited to see the finished project.
I promise more photos will follow. By the end of the month, I’ll have two finished skirts.

can’t wait to see your skirts
I love the first fabric! (I love the second fabric too, but I already told you that.) I think you can also take credit for helping me with my skirt as well, as I’ll greatly rely on you, saying as it’s my first sweing project in about 15 years. : )
On another note, how did you like the quilt show?
The linen will make a beautiful skirt! I just got AB’s Barcelona Skirts pattern and I’m really hoping it will turn out a skirt that I actually like! I’m clothes-sewing challenged, you know.
I really like the apron in your last post as well.

I bet those will both be pretty. The first print reminds me that I have a large piece that I “borrowed” last year from my mom’s stash to make a skirt, and never did. Now I have something for my first skirt of the official Month – thanks!
A friend linked my to your blog. I too started sewing for a my friend Mandy doll. Thanks for bringing back that memory.
I love (okay covert) the linen fabric. I know your skirt is going to be just a wonderful piece.
Happy sewing
