A friend known since second grade is like my sister: "Miss Jenny" lives in a huge country house in the Heldebergs and I'm just starting to recuperate from the weekend. No booze - I don't drink, never have - instead, we spent the time cooking and eating. Have you ever tried reading a book with lots of tiny print and multi-syllabic words? Never mind the book I was catching up on had one page of footnotes for every page of text: I was reading the excellent and worth-the-time book The Open Society and Its Enemies by Sir Karl Popper. Do you have a list of books you "mean to" read but never do? I finally pushed myself...
And now, on to the Two-Tone Prairie Skirt project:
And now, on to the Two-Tone Prairie Skirt project:
 |
| Thrifted knit skirt: BLAND! |
 |
| Chopped the legs for another skirt's inserts - See HERE |
 |
| Elastic removed from waist of knit skirt |
 |
| Iron the fold-overs on both parts of the skirt... |
snipped the sides & pinned
|
 |
| Whirring away at the refurbished beloved Singer! |
 |
| WAY too long! FYI: 5'5", 140 lbs. No diets, because I refuse to starve myself |
 |
| Sporto granny boots with 3" heels & the skirt is still too long! |
5'5 and 140 lbs doesn't need to starve herself. Good, healthy size. Cute skirt, too.
