turkey skirt?

Thursday, November 27, 2008

So, I worked hard to get this skirt finished for today.  However, changed my mind about wearing it.  A little clingy for a day of eating, if you know what I mean.  So, it will reside on my dress form for the day.  

I'll be back soon to let you know all about this project.
Have a wonderful day!

  3. The skirt looks lovely...but yeah, Thanksgiving and knit skirts aren't a great combination.

    Went to look at the pattern and can't believe they size it up to a 40+ inch waist!

    Happy Thanksgiving.

  5. Just got done making your recipes. Happy Thanksgiving. I love the skirt. A black bodysuit, long-sleeve. turtleneck or boat neck would look great! -----Cache' circa 1995

  14. Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours Leslie.

    The skirt looks amazing! and I am stunned (but not surprised) that you managed to finish it so quickly.

    When it comes to holiday eating though I'm with you about comfort and stretch. I may bring my maternity pants back out of retirement for the month of December. Nothing says festive like an elasticized waist.

  26. No way! (But I totally get it - one needs one's stretchy pants some days.) I love your dress form's complete outfit. Maybe you can duplicate it for the next PTO meeting?

    Happy Belated Thanksgiving.

  32. Beautiful, nonetheless. Will you show us how fabulous it looks whilst a human is wearing it? I bet it's super amazing.

    I never know what to wear with knit skirts. In the summer it's easier: tanks, etc. But winter makes things a little trickier. It seems weird to wear a sweater with a knitted skirt, for instance.

    Oh, knit fashion guru. Give us the benefit of your wisdom!

  52. Great skirt - wonderful color. It would, however, not look good on my figure...I think I've been eating too many cookies recently. (love the last batch you made - they looked yummy).

  54. The skirt looks excellent! I keep joking about eating pants for Thanksgiving, but I totally understand about not wanting to wear anything clingy (besides, I would not want to spill cranberry sauce on the skirt either)!
