Sorry in advance for all the exclamation points and for the horrible title pun, but I can't resist because I am high on my own sewing success! I sewed this skirt! By myself! And it's wearable! It's a miracle! I used this pattern, of course, like Elaine did (hers turned out a little less poofy...which is my aim for my next attempt).
And check out the pockets!
And the headband I made to match the skirt's lining!
I am so happy, I have visions of hundreds of skirts in all different colors and patterns, dancing through my head. My next project is sewing my sister an identical skirt with the generous leftovers. We can look like twins when we live 3000 miles apart, don't you think?
Stay tuned for an exciting giveaway tomorrow--and enter Elaine's giveaway if you haven't yet!

My Palladium boots are my fave, and the flats you're wearing are great for bike riding. :)

very clever indeed! i love it! i've got to use that tutorial and make me a skirt.
That's a great skirt! I'm bookmarking the pattern...might be time to jump into my first clothing-sewing attempt.
Amazing!! Love it with the belt.
Lady, it's MARVELOUS! And the contrast pockets? Too cute for words.
This turned out great! I think the poof is flattering for your figure, and I love the color!
Love the skirt! Green is my favorite color. You did a great job with sewing it. I really love the pockets too.
Oh wow, I love it! The pockets in a different pattern was a great idea. You guys are making me wish I knew how to sew.
Oh, I love this! I think it looks great poofy!
Wow. Your skirt looks awesome! I love the pockets and matching headband.
Very good job on the skirt...and a real blow-off to wear it with that hairband. You definitely look awesome :)
Your skirt is darling, and I love that you added pockets. So talented!

Wow, I can't sew to save my life, so I'm super-impressed - the hairband is the perfect touch, too :)
Awesome! How did you make the headband?
Love the skirt material, especially in the pockets! Nice and simple pattern, I might even try it myself!
I love it. Am so on to making my own one and have the perfect fabric for it too. Can't wait...but I must wait!
xx:)
It's beautiful! What a great idea to make a matching headband. You make me want to sew!
okay. this is just TOO adorable. the pockets make me swoon a little. i need to learn how to do this ASAP! or you and elaine could just go into business and make them for all of us to buy haha!
The skirt looks great! Love it
Oh my gosh, I'm so impressed! The pockets are particularly wonderful.
I wish I had sewing skills. I have a sewing machine, but don't even know how to turn it on.
Very cute skirt!! After seeing yours and Elaine's skirts, I want to make one myself now!
Nice work! I could maybe make a skirt, but pockets sound too hard! Great patterns--thanks for the closeups...on the full photos the color is still so pretty but I can't see the polkadots!
Your skirt is amazing! You are a great sewer! :) Your blog is great. I cant believe i havent seen it before. x
Adorable! The complementary pocket lining and headband are genius! I've had a skirt pattern for about a month now, but I can't decide on fabric for it. Too many options! Aaaah!
That is awesome and I love the little pockets! You look great in that shade of green!
You are too darn cute. I think I may have to tackle this skirt project. :)
Nice job! Love the color of the skirt and, of course, the secret detail of the lining. You look great!
ahhhh! this skirt is soooooo cute! great job!
I LOVE that belt. And your skirt turned out great, I need to try one.

that so cool that you sewed that! looove the pockets! i wish i could sew...one day...one day!
Awesome, love it! I can't wait until I have time to sew some skirts for myself too.
The pocket detail is too cute :o)
i just bought an "easy guide to sewing skirts" and plan to make the hundreds in MY head as soon as my mom gives me her spare machine (and teaches me how to use it since i refused as a stupid child!). this is ADORABLE. the pockets are to die for!!
Bravo! I like that it looks like a solid green skirt, but when you get close the polka dots are a fun surprise. So cute!
I have to get a sewing machine! That is such a fabulous skirt!
Congratulations on sewing a gorgeous skirt! I'm so impressed - I have tried to learn to sew so many things. It is one trade this jill will never master.
Wow, that's excellent! It's gorgeous! Thanks so much for the link to the pattern!
Wow! Just as I was looking through your photos I stopped on this skirt to say how much I liked it and SURPRISE! you totally made it. A+ dahling.
I can't believe it will be mine :)
