Today I'm wearing a lined skirt I made and the insides are together and it bothers me whenever I see the not pretty side. But I thought that was the 'right' way to line a skirt. Overthinking, right? ggMariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04301526396026815132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-87178090549590226822011-01-05T14:14:05.479-05:002011-01-05T14:14:05.479-05:00I was just thinking about what you said about your...I was just thinking about what you said about your skirt pattern getting raggedy..it may last longer if you copy it onto some medium weight interfacing.

I think I wore a very similar plaid (although smaller in scale) when I was in elementary school - a uniform jumper/pinafore that I wore with a white blouse with a Peter Pan collar and a red cardigan.<br /><br />If i ever stumble across that kind of plaid, you can bet I'll be buying some!

I use a type of elastic that I call 'boardshorts elastic'. It's never put in a casing, you just use it like a facing to finish the top of the garment. There is a built-in drawstring in the elastic, so I make it loose and comfy and pull it in with the drawstring.Maehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01471643987029247042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-3427972385202214102011-01-04T18:24:08.590-05:002011-01-04T18:24:08.590-05:00Super skirt.

I'm always happy to see you dash off another great skirt from your TNT pattern, because it makes me happier that I have only about 3 go-to patterns for skirts. Sometimes I feel silly making the gazillionth skirt that is the same but for color or print, but yours reaffirm for me that this is the right way to go. Also, thanks to you, I've been making warm twinsets of my own this winter, using some nice stretch velour I found on your Fabric Mart. My beloved laughs when I tell him I'm taking off my sleeves so they won't get dirty while I cook! So, thank you for your inspirations (and for leading me to a great fabric site).Marjiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14950085029835332900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-23127431172305686652011-01-04T17:19:56.360-05:002011-01-04T17:19:56.360-05:00Thanks for opining on the Threads DVD.

Plaid skirts lend themselves to being dressed up (velvet jacket and ruffled blouse a la the Scots women) or down (Shetland pullover, tights, and flats).
