Okay, we have got to be some of the worst bloggers out there as far as actually posting...I sat at my sewing machine for the first time today in over a week. It's hard to post about anything crafty when I'm not doing anything crafty! Actually I have crocheted a hat, but I didn't take a picture of that.
I got an A-line skirt pattern that I am going to use. Then, feeling inspired by the $.99 Butterick pattern sale at JoAnn, I went to a discount fabric store in town and found two awesome fabrics that I had previously drooled over on-line for only $2.98 a yard. One is a Michael Miller Ironworks pattern and the other is a Robert Kaufman Mod pattern. I think they'll both be skirts too. I found that I like to wear a skirt in the summer because I don't like shorts and they are cooler than pants. Anyway, these are the fabrics.
So the mitered saga continues. I think I found a method that works, but it isn't perfect yet.
The edges of the fabric aren't lined up right, but it is a diagonal lined corner! The overall effect is alright too.
I didn't get the joining of the ends right, but one skill at a time, right??

Once I actually get one or more skirt made, I'll post it here - don't hold your breath though! Okay, it's your turn! Have you been completely uncrafty like me this week?

hey, i have a really good excuse...
by the way, i think the mitered corner looks pretty darn good. and it can only get better. don't you love the 99 cent pattern sales at joann? i suggest a skirt for your entire next pregnancy. it's very comfortable.
