Not On My List

When I made my summer sewing to do list, this skirt was not on it.  But, I've made two of them and nothing else on my list.  The short sleeve sweater I got at Goodwill.  So, $5 for the sweater, $10 for material, and $5 for the pattern makes this a $20 outfit.  Ok, ok, the shoes add in too, but who counts that as an expense?

Here is the pattern I used.  I didn't use the pockets on this one and I pleated the skirt instead of using gathers.

Notice there is nothing in the hutch.  Unloading all the china is also on my summer to do list.  I did paint most of the dining room though.

I also bought a package of 25 zippers for $9.  I only used one, so how much does that add to the cost of the outfit?

Four Years Later...

Finished piecing this quilt in January on maternity leave.  Sent it to Utah where a friend of mine's mother quilted it on her long arm.  Put the binding on and now it is happily on our bed.

 Did I forget to mention the back is its own quilt?  I made a Turning Twenty out of a pile of fabric mom sent me years ago.  Hubby likes the back more than the front.
