Skirt Saga

Remember how a while ago I posted about the 'skirt that tried to kill me' because it took me such a long, frustrating time to finish it? Little did I know when I wrote that post that there would be another skirt that would try to kill me...and would get as far as to send me to the ER. This is the skirt I was working on when I swallowed the dreaded straight pin:

I would definitely say the skirt was not worth all the hassle. And when we get our benefits statement from our health insurance, I dare say Blue Cross would not think it was worth it (oh the amount of designer skirts I could buy for the price of 24 hours in the emergency room). But putting emergency room visit aside, I do like how the skirt turned out. I made up my own pattern for it (psuedo-copying from a skirt I already own and love) and thankfully it turned out just fine.
