T13: Skirts I made

I got all of these out of my closet today. One of them is over 20 years old. One I made last fall.

1. This is the oldest. When I first made it I was proud because I was experimenting with making a skirt without using a pattern. Now it makes me feel like I’m in the circus. I use it as a slip.

2. My first experiment with combining pleats and gathers. One of my favorite, but it isn’t color fast, so I don’t use it all that much.

3. Another skirt turned slip. This one’s almost a gonner, it’s getting so thin.

4. Yeah, I know, it’s way too cutesy for someone my age. I love it anyway.

5. I would like this better if it were a little longer. It hits just below the knee.

6. This one too.

7. I wear this once, maybe twice a year, usually around New Years Eve.

8. Those are penguins doing sports things like ice skating on ice flows. I wear it around the house.

9. I slapped this puppy on my scanner and used it as the background on my web site. Didn’t work the way I had hoped, but I still like it.

10. You should see the looks I get when I wear this one to Wal Mart. You’d think they’d never seen a long, vellour skirt before.

11. I just about live in this one. No reason for it, I just like it.

12. I’ve never worn this one. Eventually I’ll finish the vest that goes with it and start to use it.

13. The youngest. I wear it all the time.
