I finished this skirt (New Look # 6463) today! It was so very easy that I really feel I should have challenged myself a little more by making view "c" instead of the easier "b" view. As you can see from the front of the pattern pic below, C has two tiers and that is what I really wanted but I chickened out. Although I like this skirt, I think I would prefer a smaller ruffle at the bottom like view D (second to last view on pattern front) After completing this one, I feel so confident about doing the harder ones.
I'm so pumped about creating my spring wardrobe. I really want to use this pattern a few more times to make several different skirts for work. I'm not completely satisfied with the one I made but I think it is because it seems kind of plain. I want to try the very last one (view E-the pink one with the ruffle going all the way down). I really think I can so do that. Since I have to be outdoors so much in my marketing job, I like to wear skirts to stay cool. You can put on a nice skirt with a blouse and a pair of sandals and look professional and stay cool.
I have a few other patterns I'm going to conquer soon. The first one is McCalls M5813. I love these pants! They are so bohemian/gypsy! I bought the fabrics for these pants last week and this is the next pattern I will attack. Hobby Lobby was having a sale the other day and the McCalls patterns were 1.99 as opposed to 18.95 so I bought two. Will show you those later, gotta pace myself. Hugs to my blog friends. Praying for warm weather soon.
