Alterations

I'm taking a break from my tiered skirt to do a few alterations for my dad and brother.  Hemming slacks and cutting off shirt sleeves to make them into short sleeved shirts.

Once I get those done, I plan to get back to work on this skirt.  This skirt is reminding me of some square dance skirts and dresses that I own.  Yes, we used to square dance!  It was fun and great exercise.

I found my square dance skirts and dresses in a closet along with some petticoats.  We even drug our kids to square dance lessons, so I have my daughter's petticoat, etc. stashed away.

This skirt is so full.  I really hope once I wet it down and crinkle it in the dryer that it will draw some of the fullness up!  Otherwise, I'm going to sell it as a square dance skirt someday!
