I love the yellow. I was just watching the finale to the Biggest Loser and Jillian had on a yellow skirt and top and I had color envy. It is only worse after seeing your lovely skirt.

It may have taken a while but it was so worth it. I love the colour and think that you've done a great job.
ReplyDeleteI choose to have several projects on the go at once so sometimes it does take me a while to get them finished too. This is just the way I like to work as I can pick up whatever takes my fancy, depending on the tme I have available.
You've inspired me to get on with another skirt now . . . It may be ready by Christmas ;p

ReplyDeleteThis is a very nice dress and I think is cheaper than it would’ve been to purchase it. Also it is nice to make it yourself, that way you can wear exactly what you like and have the satisfaction of seeing the results of your work. Congratulations, it’s gorgeous.
