Duraglow Fabric Skirt

I had an impulse to sew up a skirt and took the risk on using some vintage fabric even!
I did take the precaution of using a pattern.  Although the pattern was one I had never used before and it was originally for a dress, I just used the south section.

The pattern I used was Simplicity 8294.  I also had to make up the waist band feature.

Close up of the fabric.  I picked it up from a thrift store a couple of years back.  The selvage says:  Vat Colors "Duraglow" Prints.  I think I may make a shirt to go with the skirt using the itsy bitsy leftover fabric to accent the collar.

Lastly, here is a photo of my sassy hair and caterpillar eyebrows!
