The "Domesticated Skirt"

 So, I was looking through the links I got in an email from Allfreesewing.com.  There are some great skirt patterns at this link:  http://www.allfreesewing.com/Bottoms-to-Sew/16-Free-Skirt-Patterns/ct/1

 My favorite skirt (link) came from this blog:  http://www.sewastraightline.com/2010/03/domesticated-skirt.html.   I made the skirt today.  I learned that it helps to measure as I am apparently not good at eye-balling the correct length.  Also, I learned that you can get the side flaps too wide.  One thing I would love to do is add pockets but am not sure how to do that yet.  

 All three of these fabrics are ones that I have owned longer than I have known my husband.  I have the biased tape laid out here too, but ended up only using the stuff that I made myself.
