The Skirt: that has been in my head & a cup of tea

I've had this idea for a skirt for some time now. Two fabric, one satin one matted.The style line details would be, a curved satin strip going up the princess line and curving to the side seam and then curving down the back. The fabrics being the same color so that the luster and texture were what was different. I finally made the pattern this weekend and pick the fabric from the pile I had; wool crepe and a satin weave. I starting cutting the pieces, on Monday evening. I can never wait to start sewing and usually start before I finish cutting out all the pieces, this is a bad habit of mine and is not a good idea. I just get so excited I want to see what it's going to look like.

I was finally making the skirt in my head, and had all the skirt piece cut out but the waist band. I then realized I didn't have the matching color thread! Some of you might not know this but using thread that doesn't match is a HUGE no no in my books. I took sewing lesson as a child and had very strict sewing teachers. If I said I was going to use a thread color that didn't much, well I believe they would be shocked to the point where they would be speechless. So I decide to wait until I had the matching thread and enjoy a cup of mint tea before calling it a night.

New Fabric

Today the weather was plus one and the sun was shining, I left my fat winter coat at home. It's still February so it was a tease the Spring was coming but not yet. I headed over to the Love & Rummage Trunk Show at the workroom. It was full of people shopping and so many lovely things. I knew I couldn't shop because of my empty walet but when I saw this fabric I couldn't past up on it. The colors screamed "SPRING!" and then when I saw it was only 5 dollars it was well worth it.

I'm not sure what I will make out of it yet, a lovely spring dress would be nice. Another project added to the already very long list.
