I've been sewing for most of my adult life. When I was in my twenties, I sewed a lot of my own clothing. I got very good at it - even making a pantsuit (that I was happy to wear)! Then came quilting, and with quilting comes....fabric collecting! Yowser, do I have a lot of fabric. Now, probably to a lot of people (quilters), my stash is fairly small. But to me, it's more fabric than I need to, or want to, have on hand. So. It's time to dust off the old garment sewing skills and start making some clothes!
I just made an apron, which showed me just how rusty I was. It turned out okay, other than the fact that it doesn't fit well, is ugly, and makes me look 20 pounds heavier. Hmm, well. That won't do. Fact is, I need a few good aprons, because I cook a lot. So, let's find a better pattern. Maybe
this one. And some skirts. I think this pattern will make some great summer skirts.
Now, which fabric? Choices, choices.
