Never Too Late, Right?

To finish an UFO?


Simplicity 8126


Took it from this to this!

Even though I've worn this item over 12 times AND it has been almost a year (June 2009!) since I posted its completion, it was never really finished. I never got around to putting the pockets which amazingly were the whole reason I wanted to make this skirt! I cut the first ones out as the pattern instructed; on the bias. That was a major mistake when you are making something out of stretch denim, the result was wavy and wiggly in the extreme. Then it took me a while to track down in my apartment if I had any scraps left over. But now after cutting the pockets on the straight grain I can finally call this item complete.

Because the sun was cooperating in my "photo studio"* I was able to take quite a few good pictures, there are more here on Flickr.


And now, I can tote me some stuff! POCKETS!!!
