a skirt of my own

i FINALLY got around to sewing something for me.

i know it doesn't look like much, the hem is unfinished and it's wrinkled.

it's knit and there's a black waistband on top that you can't see.

and i added some white petal-looking embellishments (an idea from a j.crew catalog) to add some cuteness.

echo inspired me to just make a skirt and so i got one i already had, laid it out, cut around it, then sewed it together.

it's just my test-run for several that i have in mind.

simple, easy, and it fits -- which is what matters most.
