Upon the arrival of my new sewing machine, I had a moment of sewing frenzy. My spontaneous project of choice: The Miette Skirt by
Tilly and the Buttons, a wrap around skirt and a pleasant beginner pattern; directions were uber easy to follow. I printed it out Friday evening, worked it out on Saturday in about 7 hours total. The fabric is one probably older than I am, but is a vibrant emerald with some black pinstripe-ish print. There were some dye imperfections, but it added character. I also got to beam with pride as I wore it at the morning church service and my brother's birthday party this afternoon :)
