So I Don't Have Much Done (202/365)

And I'm falling behind, but I'll catch up! I'd rather have some
sewing practice before I jump into the dress. The tutorials, pics, and
flickr threads will still be there when I'm ready for it, so I'm not
too worried. After the issues I had last night, I may just sew another
skirt before I start the dress.

The skirt is incredibly easy and I plan on making loads of them for
Alice in the future, but I've got to iron out the kinks first. I'm
struggling with finishing the bottom edge (you're supposed to bind
with ribbon) because I didn't square it up before I started sewing, so
I may just end up hemming it, if I can figure out how to do that, that
is! :)

So anyway, here's the almost finished product. It fits Alice perfectly
and I'm so proud I didn't screw up the casing for the elastic (just
don't look too close, mmkay?). All in all a good experience so far!
