A-line Skirt

I've really been wanting a new skirt lately, but I just can't seem to find what I want in the stores.  I have a skirt that I really like the way it fits, so I just decided to use that as a pattern, and make myself a new skirt.  Here is the old skirt that I got like 6 years ago.
 And here is the one I made.
 I added a little lace trim like the other one had.
 Lucas wanted to help me take pictures.
 I love my new skirt.  It took me a few hours to make, but at a fourth the price of what I was looking at in the stores, it was worth it.
I can't wait to use the other pattern I have to make another one.

I'm impressed. Great job! That rascal Lucas looks so cute. Anxious to see your next skirt. Sometimes sewing does pay off, especially because you get exactly what you want.

Very nice skirt. I like the fabric that you chose, and the lace trim is very cutesy and feminine. The biggest problem I ever have with making things without a pattern is that I always end up making them too small because I don't leave enough room for all the seam allowances. I'm glad you didn't have that problem.
I love the picture looking down at Lucas.
