My sister Sarah's 6-gore skirt

Try saying that really fast 6 times. LOL

Abigail and I were in Brooklyn a couple weeks ago visting my sister. I asked Sarah, "Hey, are there any good fabric stores around here?" So we went to this place called Save-a-thon Fabrics & Crafts. I told her I would make her a skirt if she found a fabric she liked. This was her choice. It is 100% poly and was really easy to sew with. I used the infamous 6-gore sewalong to draft the pattern per her measurements. I topstitched all the seams with the hopes it would add some pizzazz (sp?). I hope she likes and it fits. If not, oh well! It only cost her $4.00 + my labor of .

I hope it hangs better on a real person.

So you can see the neat print.

Thanks for looking!

PS - I picked up a rayon/linen look fabric in off-white from JA's clearance last week and will make a peasant top as a surprise for her.
