Check Out My Skirticakes!

I made one other adult one, and two for Sadie Grace, which I didn't photograph yet, but here are three of the skirts I've made during last week or so:


Here's one I made for Ahno. We've been watching too much Project Runway and we were practicing our top model poses...



Here's Ahno and skirt in a more typical Ahnoesque pose:



Here I am on the runway. I call this facial expression "My skirt is on fire." It's patented, yo, so don't be copying my moves.



I made this skirt for Ahno originally but she claims it's a bit loud for her wardrobe, so I adopted it. It's not too loud for my wardrobe. Here I am cavorting with the chipmunks in it:



This orange fabric I have had for like four years. Since Benny was in a size two anyway, because I planned to make him a jacket out of it in that size, as I recall. It then became Sacred Fabric That Must Not Be Cut and sat on a shelf for me to admire and fondle. This year, however, I decided it DESERVES to be worn, and so I made a skirt out of it, which I VIOLENTLY LOVE. I wore it to church this morning.



Here's a closeup of the fabric -- the best of the four is this awesome black and orange goldfish fabric. I do still have a bit of that to hold and fondle but the rest of the set I used all up.



Sewing madly... missing everyone in Norfolk...

OH I love the orange one best too. You look so CUTE and the facial expression where you make yourself have ENORMOUS JUTTING SLAVIC CHEEKBONES by pinching in your mouth is Very Fierce. I like your HAIR COLOR. Someday I hope to see you again and perhaps inappropriately fondle the goldfish fabric remnant too...
