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.
