I looked into the WIP skirts that mentioned and oh man oh man:
This one was supposed to be a swirly style skirt with gores - I decided to make the skirt green and the gores yellow and the effect is very "circus tent." Plus the way it falls is totally wrong. Honestly I should have just tossed it a long time ago, but I had this idea that I was going to take out the gores and replace them with green. Or take out the skirt and replace it with yellow. I'm so crazy sometimes. It's a shame that it looks so bad... I did a beautiful job putting in the zip.
The other one I had one that was a pencilish fitted wrap skirt; I put that aside because it turned out a little bit big for me and it was all lined and everything, so I didn't want to take it apart. Well, lucky lucky me, a year of sitting in the sewing drawer took care of that little problem (and no, the shirt didn't shrink, sadly) so it fits fine and just needed finishing touches. I hand sewed on some frogs and a snap and it was all done... picture to follow when we get some sunshine.
I also remembered some shirts that need fixing, so I've added that to the list. Pluuuuus I saw this:
Ceylon dress from Colette Patterns, sewn by Tessuti
I couldn't resist it. It's been added to the list even though it looks like it will be pretty hard. It's just so lovely.
