fall skirt

A couple of weeks ago I went to City Craft (a wonderful fabric store in Dallas!) I spent way too long picking out fabric for some different projects I am working on, but one of the best parts was I got a wonderful book! James actually talked me into getting the book. It has so many great projects and most of them are great for a beginner seamstress like me!

The book is called One Yard Wonders. And it IS wonderful! I got the idea and pattern for a really cute skirt from the book. With lots of patience I figured it out!

I wanted to get a fabric that would work for fall and my LOVE for boots! Here is a pic with me in the skirt (we had to take it outside because the lighting was being stubborn!)

can't wait for fall.....

here is an up close....

Since it was my first skirt (and I am currently teaching myself) I was pretty excited with how it turned out. I definitely learned a lot making it and they will hopefully get better each time! I can't wait to make some more towel aprons and kitchen towels for the fall holidays! I am also looking forward to trying the jewelry roll and a couple other projects in the book!

I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend! My new skirt and I can't wait for fall!!!
