So, therefore and unto, you don't have a sheety skirt, you have a linen skirt. So there, now you can even wear it to the market! Actually, with a little white t-shirt or tank or one of those cute little sleeveless button up blouses, it would look super snazzy! Yeah, like you should really take fashion tips from me, someone who lives in sweats, jeans and t-shirts/sweatshirts.

It's a great green print, very tropical. Just don't tuck your top in and show the elastic waist (that's a dead giveaway old lady move!) LOL <BR/><BR/>BTW, I agree with mar's comment - I think that lid is what they call a "marriage" in the antique trade - not original - but it's charming and anyone would be happy to enjoy that lovely, shiny thing.

I made a pencil-skirt from it a couple of years ago, and I have to say.....although writing down ones measurements is not always a nice thing, the good thing is, that you don't have to match it to a size!

That summer, I took all our old (I mean REALLY old) sheets and made "practice" clothing from it to give myself some sewing experience. We didn't have much money, so I made do with what I had. Unlike you, I could NEVER have worn my sheety clothing because of the sheets were REALLY WORN, but it was the best experience I could have given myself. <BR/><BR/>Your sheety skirt came out great and is perfectly wearable out and about. I even like the fabric. Very Hawaiiany (is that a word? LOL!).<BR/><BR/>Congrats on your accomplishment! :o)Suzyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14424722555542636294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1942038667935502908.post-42599422816521373572008-04-05T03:11:00.001-10:002008-04-05T03:11:00.001-10:00great sheety skirt.
