I like to wear skirts because I love the way they move with my body. I like how they flow when I walk and I LOVE how they twirl when I dance. The more twirly, the better.

On a related note, the skirt shown above is one that I just made over the weekend. I am learning to sew and skirts are great because they're pretty simple and I can whip one up relatively quickly (I'm an impatient sewer.) Once I learned how to do zippers, a whole world opened for me - the world of skirts!
This skirt is the first I've done with a lining. Which, I must say, is heavenly. I love the feel - the extra weight and substance the lining gives. Special thanks to AZ Tea Lover for lining guidance!
Yes, skirts are wonderful for making a girl feel like she is properly dressed. I even remember when we wore a slip under those skirts. Whoops, my years are showing ";-) You are so right! The skirt must twirl when the DH and I go out ballroom dancing. None of those wimpy straight skirts for dancing. When ever I see a suitable dress, it must be a dancing dress. You look wonderful in your skirts and your sweats.
ReplyDeleteMy sweaty time is spent in the garden and I love to sweat and get my exercise there. In fact there is a 5 foot high pile of mulch just waiting for me and tomorrow it will be conquered!
Keep up the great sewing. You are becoming quite accomplished. I remember how I felt when I put in my first zipper. Somehow being able to do that meant that I could now call myself a seamstress.
Have fun in your twirly skirts,
Mary Jane

Well, I must say you are just cute as a button in that terrific new skirt! Pretty design, great fabric (almost looks vintage) ... I like it a lot. And I'm also impressed at your sewing skills because I am deathly afraid of zippers and have never attempted one!
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute skirt- good work! I can relate to being girly and sweaty. :)
ReplyDeleteI love your skirts, and am so impressed that you continue to challenge yourself with sewing projects! Once I finish my dissertation and graduate, I hope to learn how to thread my sewing machine . . . and then learn how to actually sew!
ReplyDeleteLove the skirt! Congratulations on your skills as a hobby seamstress.
ReplyDeleteI loved this outfit when I saw you in it Wed. night. Very classy, very you! The skirt is great. I can't wait to have enough time to get out my new skirt pattern and sew a few for myself.
ReplyDeleteI love skirts too but what an incredible sewing job you've done! I would have never known....the zipper was always the hardest for me but once you get the hang of it, there's no stopping you! Great job Steph! :)
