My youngest DD wants some skirts and I wanted a book called
"Sew What Skirts." Bought the book,it teaches skirt drafting. I got her
measurements when I saw her last weekend and drafted a straight skirt
today, cut it out, have most of it together. Now I have to wait until
I see her on over the holiday, try it on her and then I can add the
waistband and hem it. The best part is I used some fabric from the stash
for my toile. That way after I make the adjustments she can wear it. I
like the idea of drafting my own pattern rather than buying one. This
way I know I made it to her measurements without making a lot of pattern
adjustments.

Cool let us know how it works out!
Beverly, cooking meat loaf, acorn squash and a baked potato
in the new stove, and the house smells wonderful.

Your house must smell great. I made some cranberry sauce this afternoon
for the big day and leek and barley soup for dinner tonight. If I make
anything with an onion or leek base DH starts drooling. The man loves
the smell of onions cooking.
I'll get back about the skirt on Saturday. We will be staying over until
then. The men are playing golf on Friday and the moms are making
cookies.I much rather make cookies than go out and freeze my butt off
playing golf.

I have cranberries and oranges waiting... And a bottle of red cooking
wine! My family like my cranberry & orange sauce for Christmas. I'm
off out to order the venison in a few minutes!
You know, cranberry sauce is a gloroius colour... Must see what I can
find in the way of fabric that colour! A nice cord would make a
brilliant skirt!
