Red Gored Skirt

This is a dark red jacquard, ankle length yoked skirt, made with 4 panels. All I need to do is put fasteners (probably buttons) at the side openings and hem it.

so, since no-one else is reading this anyway, I'm going to use it to keep track of some scattered project ideas. I'll start off with a list of things I'm contemplating, then I can go into each one in detail as later posts.

Sewing:
red gored skirt
khaki flared skirt
Ao Dai
'tie' gored skirt
messenger bag
mini backpack
mend hat
hem pants
dog jacket
ankle-length skirt
flannel petticoats
toddler suit
green wool coat

Knitting:
kilt hose
baby soaker(s)
cotton tee
white gloves

now, with a list to refer to, I have no excuse for not getting it all done, right?

arty photos

As I suggested to myself in a previous post, a digital camera seems to be essential for keeping any sort of decent blog. So we got one that we're happy with all 'round, still reading the manual for what the different settings really mean. And of course, if one's camera has a macro/close-up setting, one must use it to take arty close-ups, no?
