We interrupt.....
your regular knitting viewing to bring you some sewing. At about 11pm Saturday night, I felt the need to bond with my sewing machine. So I started out with just this on Sunday morning. 
The reconstructed shirt didn't make it. It didn't turn out the way I expected. But here is the final view before it was added to the scrap pile. 
But the material and zippers turned into some cool skirts. 
The purple flower skirt is rather Hawiian looking, I think. Really like the way it turned out. And the black skirt was a fake-it-till-you-make-it deal. I made up the pattern as I went along. It is just five panels sewn together and I made four slits at the bottom of the skirt. I really like the way it turned out. I now return you to your regulary knitting.

The skirts look great! I am a big fan of skirts, and I like the length of them especially. Short enough to show you actually have "legs" and yet long enough to be "ladylike." I also took a peek at your sock yarn. Very nice colors. I hope learning to make the socks comes easy to you, because they do make great little gifts that are very useful. I'll hold up on the Mariah, because I can't really see it too well in it's current condition........LOL But I do like the idea of knitting both sleeves at the same time. I never thought of doing that, but I will in future. Have a great week!

I LOOOOOOOVE the skirts. You're gonna make me some right? I mean after all I am your favouritest little (E) sister. (Incase the J's read this, they'll think that it's the E thing. But we both really know that I AM your favouritest little sister ever *lol*). So when can I except to get those skirts in the mail? *lol* Am still working on the backpacks. Had to take a little break because I did get a little worn out on knitting for like a week. But now I am too back to my knitting. Love you like Hollywood loves quickie marriages, and miss you like punk rockers miss the 80's and liquid eyeliner.
