A lot of sewing books suggest avoiding stripes for skirts with more than 4-6 gores; not that this has ever stopped me. ;) Can't wait to see the finished skirt--I'm sure it's adorable!<br /><br />♥ Casey<br />blog | elegantmusings.comCaseyhttp://elegantmusings.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089197969206589217.post-38228866620290556072010-07-13T04:41:36.636-07:002010-07-13T04:41:36.636-07:00Oh how glorious!Oh how glorious!Victoria / Justice Piratehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03547195552335345704noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089197969206589217.post-2476265091501823722010-07-13T02:09:30.317-07:002010-07-13T02:09:30.317-07:00It sounds totally stressful, but I'm sure it w...It sounds totally stressful, but I'm sure it will be worth it, I can't wait to see some pictures of the finished skirt (and hopefully hat), and those patterns sound lovely!!<br />From Carys of <a href="http://www.lavilleinconnue.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">La Ville Inconnue</a>Caryshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07229603935499988940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089197969206589217.post-59477670768054839322010-07-13T00:21:39.865-07:002010-07-13T00:21:39.865-07:00LOL those were totally the ones I was going to buy...LOL those were totally the ones I was going to buy while I was there!

Just got finished making a 40s pinafore dress out of this wonderful plaid fabric that looked so lovely and innocent and patriotic in the store, but drove my mother and myself to our wits' end in trying to make everything match up.
