My fashion album includes photos of many lovely pieces I have seen in magazine layouts and would love to one day add to my own wardrobe. This skirt is similar to one of them. I think it turned out pretty well being that I didn’t have a pattern. I have been learning how to visualize a piece of fabric and all its folds and turn it into a piece that resembles something wearable. The drape of this skirt is not as smooth as I would have liked. I look forward to the day I have a mannequin to “play dress up with” as my husband would say. I can imagine it would be simply wonderful to be able to fasten my prickly pinned fabric to a mannequin instead of me!
I’ll wrap up this post with a photo of one of my favorite pairs of shoes. When I went to take the snapshot, I realized that the floor was covered with alphabet blocks and thought to myself, “Doesn’t that just speak truth in a million different ways.” I’m sure all you mothers out there understand the rare days you get to put on a pair of heels and trip over toys!

the skirt is adorable….so are the shoes….i have some that are very similar. as for the drape of the skirt, fabric selection makes a huge difference. a softer fabric would hang more smoothly.
