First Order

I'm not sure if really I should call this my first order, due to the fact that my friend Lisa probably thought I was nagging her and I got her to buy the material.  But I took her measurements and she specified what part of the fabric she'd rather at the front etc., and I did the sewing (and zip-putting-in)....  I was rather pleased with the final product.  What do you think?

Top - front
Bottom - back
I'm hoping to get some 'word of mouth' in regards to Lisa parading around in such a lovely (!) 'biglittlesister' creation and I am hoping she's happy with what I've made.

I thought I better practise doing a skirt in checks.  I love checks.  I've made a couple of skirts before in check material (remember this one and this one?) - but this one is much larger in size.  I gained an extra model in this snapshot. ;P

You'll have to make me one. I went skirt shopping the other day and did you know that other than two horrible-looking numbers (too long and 'ethnic') and a couple of truly old-fashioned ones in M&S, no-one seems to be selling them this year. Are skirts out of fashion or something? Even H&M didn't have any in stock.

Good for you! It looks fantastic; I'm sure you'll get many more orders. :)
