Black Skirt - Burda 1/11, #105


Slow Start

I didn't quite the progress made on the skirt as I had hoped today.  The pattern has been traced and the fabric is cut out, so that's a start.


The children had another snow day today (see below), so I helped my son work on some projects.  My day then, was not completely unproductive.  We built part of his new Lego set:


We also completed his model airplane by adding all the decals.  He's been waiting on this part for quite a while, as mom has been busy.  Today, I decided was the day to finish it up!


Tomorrow I should be able to get that skirt together.  I know it won't be hard and with a few hours of concentrated work it should be close to finished.

Parting Shot:  Again.  We've been fortunate to have some nicer weather the past few weeks in which a lot of our snow melted.  Today, we got another snow storm and it looks like it did a month ago!

Great looking projects!

We also got snow today ..lots of it. The good thing about snow is shoveling it is great
exercise :)

Uggh, snow.

I'm looking forward to seeing your skirt - the same pattern is on my to-sew list, though I might try it with the longer front, just to see if I like it...

I love that you do projects with your kids! Priceless. The skirt will still get made.

Can't wait to see the skirt! We had almost two weeks of snow days earlier this month and there was a lot of Lego building going on at our house, too. I hope you get some nice spring weather soon!
