Sara reports from “the great 208” that she’s been experiencing humid days with the excellent smell of petrichor.
She also wrote a postcard as the car she was in was driving on I-5 near my house. She was on a road trip and the other companions decreed that there was no stopping to say hi.
Here is the first version of a gathered skirt. It’s pretty much the easiest to make as you can cut a rectangle, gather it, and then slap a waistband on. My instructor though, had us expand the blocks outward to make the skirt bigger.
And the plus of these tiny skirts is that I can make all the mistakes. In this case, I didn’t realize I had sewed together the wrong sides until it was time for the waistband , but I just added the waistband and moved on.
Mental note: do a better job marking front and back.
