These are my August projects. For the last two winters I have found myself wearing pants the majority of the time. However, I love skirts. The only ones that did make it out of the house were ankle length wool ones that I could wear with boots.
This fall, I vow to wear skirts with more feminine footwear, similar to the looks of yesteryear. I went to Jo-Ann's Fabrics and bought this great black and cream chevron stripe fabric and a warm red sueded fabric to make the top two skirts on this Simplicity 5914 "six skirts made easy" pattern. I can't wait to cut them out.
However, this weekend I am still working on this project:
The reason is: Richmond weather in August and September usually means true summer will keep popping up when you least expect it. Therefore, I can't rule out more hot summer weather just yet.
