I think I've finally got skirt-making out of my system for the time being! After my experience with the last skirt, I needed something more of a sure thing. The material is a neat embroidered wool blend, and I've added a slight flare on the bottom (not a ruffle!) and a little trim. It's the length I wanted, it fits, and will do great with a sweater and boots. Yay!
Now, what to do next? I made a list of possible projects, but none of them are singing out to me. I was going non-stop on projects before Christmas, and now it seems my creative juices are moving a bit sluggishly. Does that mean I should take a break? Or just keep plugging along? Any suggestions?
I love the skirt! I just got Sew What Skirts and saw your pictures over at the flickr group. Great job. =]

your skirt is really really pretty!!!! i say take a break too but don't stop browsing for ideas... then again, if you take a break, it might be hard to get back in the groove of things [as is my problem]... you could try making a wacky quilt? or embroider some squares [wait, do you embroider?] for a future quilty project... maybe you can get into some writing and try to make something for the story... [so if you do a story of a goldfish, you then do a sewing stuffie of a fish?!]... well, either way, best wishes!!! :)
hugs

Why not give yourself a break? Read a crazy non-craft related book, or practice the piano... Or just sit and admire your new skirts! :)
