The first present I made was a skirt for my mother. The fabric is a fine wool that has a glossy satin side. It's dark gray. I made the pattern myself using a burda pattern as starting point.


I am not very good on zippers and on the zipper the stripes aren't matching. Guess I was happy to have it OKish in and afterwards it was too much to rip and align it.

On a different matter - Colette tagged me. As far as I get it I must take the next book and look at page 123 and write the fifth sentence. Sitting here with my computer the next book is one belonging to my nephew. It is in french (since he is a little Canadian from Montreal) called "Jouons avec Leon". I don't speak a word french. It has 8 pages split in two horizontally allowing some combination. I guess I will just take the last page:
"Leon...
... s'ennuie!"
Honestly I have no idea what that means.

I invite EVERYBODY from my blogroll to feel tagged and carry this one on if they want to have the fun!
