SKIRT:)

So last Friday when I went to my grandmother's house my mother and grandmother were making clothes for our goose. I will go ahead and explain that it is not a real goose, it is a concrete lawn goose that was given to us by our neighbors. Since of course you cannot have a naked goose in your yard, my mother makes clothes for it. But that is beside the point. The point is that they were going through a bunch of fabric remnants looking for something to make the goose a new dress out of. I pulled out a peice of material that I thought was pretty and showed it to my mom, "Wouldn't this make a pretty skirt?" I said (hint hint). My mother and grandmother both agreed with me and I ended up taking the fabric home to make me a skirt. Now bear in mind I do not sew. I have absaloutly nothing personal against sewing, I just never have been very good at it; so the fact that I took on the project is kinda a big deal. So Sunday afternoon I picked out a pattern at the store and borught it home to begin my project. My mother showed me how to cut it out and helped me decipher the instructions. But then we had a problem... our sewing machine was broken. How do you sew a skirt when your sewing machine is broken you ask? You borrow somebody elses, that is how. Luckily I knew someone who owned a sewing machine that they weren't using at the time and they graciously allowed me to use it. So I worked on my skirt Sunday night and Monday morning and voila! a skirt had formed! I am quite proud of my skirt and have been wearing it all day (it's quite comfortable). I have now been inspired to try making more of these skirts and if I am able to get good at these then I will try moving on to something a little harder. A dress maybe??
  I'll put up a picture of my lovely creation in a short while:)

 By the way, I would like to thank the person who let me borrow there sowing machine:) THANK YOU!:)
