Well, actually, it's another last minute job. I'm going for a family visit in four days and I want something new.
I bought a yard and three quarters of really pretty black cotton with an eyelet edging on both selvedges about a year ago. I knew I wanted to make a skirt out of it, but am just now figuring out what kind of skirt. Well, actually, it's another last minute job. I'm going for a family visit in four days and I want something new. I want to use the eyelet edging as a ruffle, but I don't want it to look like a peasant costume. I've seen some skirts recently that are A-line skirts with ruffles at the hem. I think that will work for this. As I always try to do, I said "Self ... try this on before you put on the waist facing and ruffles."

I LIKE this skirt. And I appreciate your commonsense thinking. Most often it isn't brain surgery. We use our experience, talent -and go for it! It is what keeps it fun!

I'm really enjoying these. I'd like to see another photo of the skirt but against a lighter background to better show off that eyelet trim. Would you consider doing something like this with the ruffles and skirt in contrasting or complementary colors?
