According To Your Cloth

 

My sewing mentee gave me this fabric. He suggested I make a dress with it, but I thought that would be a bit overpowering and a skirt would be better. I thought a skirt cut on the cross would be good, so I bought a large piece of very expensive tracing paper to make a pattern. But when I came to fit the pattern to the fabric, it turned out that the fabric was much too narrow for that. So I made a straight skirt, using the full width of the fabric for the back and another for the front to make a very full skirt. Too full? I'm not sure. I'm still mulling that.
