I must confess, the skirt isn't QUITE complete, with having to hem (read: hemming tape and a nice hot iron) to keep the raw edges at bay. A bit shorter that I'd like it to be (just above knee height) but I like the colours, lots of deep blue with just a random red tie to keep things interesting. It also meets my one criteria for a skirt - its swishy, if it swishes, its a definite part of the wardrobe. Also I have enough basted tie remnants to make a matching bag.... eventually. All in all, another opshop success!
Tomorrow, I'm planning a nice photo session of the current WIPS (That I'm admitting) and a blanket for my grandfather. (mmm granny squares!)
adios!

Go the swishiness...a definite requirement in any skirt! Good work, and I look forward to seeing those WIPs too...it'll make me feel better about mine!
Maybe you should give the length a chance. I find that IF they are swishy then below-knee and mid-calf length are quite nice. But yeah, I like a knee or full length for my non-swishy ones.
