Confessions of a late night sewer...

I'm not going to be the kind of girl that can have yards of fabric in her house.

Needless to say, the skirt is done.  I do like it.  I'm looking forward to working with the knit material this week and seeing how the t-shirt top works.

If the knit top goes well, I'm thinking my 4th sewing project might be a maxi-dress.  Simplicity has an "easy one.  Can you imagine, me, Angie Good, making maxi dresses???  (Smile!)
