...Flattering skirt! That is a good length for you.<br /><br />I have enough clothes, but I enjoy sewing so I keep making them. I continually cull my closet and send gently used items to the Goodwill (this does not mean the closet is not overstuffed!).<br /><br />I have the same rule about finishing a project before moving on. It is very effective for avoiding UFOs!The Slapdash Sewisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11668474749166329852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4507269696688990191.post-51662288401501409122012-02-04T10:01:27.117-05:002012-02-04T10:01:27.117-05:00Faye, lovely skirt!!!

I sew because I can. There is something so soothing about handling fabric and turning flat pieces of fabric into finished garments that fit and look good.

I'm pretty rigorous about donating or tossing clothing that doesn't work out for me or that has aged/deteriorated. I basically sew my statement pieces and passion projects - and that is for the love of them.Cliohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05552253628640209694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4507269696688990191.post-57724141161551362562012-02-03T13:46:06.399-05:002012-02-03T13:46:06.399-05:001) Skirt looks great!

I shrunk out of a bunch, so I am currently trying to make things that fit me now. I also hate buying clothes, so I only have a few pairs of jeans and sweaters that I like.Adelaide Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04416139155541674614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4507269696688990191.post-49399797248915202722012-02-03T11:57:23.660-05:002012-02-03T11:57:23.660-05:00Great rule, The skirt looks awesome!Great rule, The skirt looks awesome!SewCool21https://www.blogger.com/profile/03149631761189332297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4507269696688990191.post-18810366830007491072012-02-03T09:48:46.934-05:002012-02-03T09:48:46.934-05:00No UFO's is a good philosophy - I ought to ado...No UFO's is a good philosophy - I ought to adopt it LOL.<br /><br />Lots of holes in the closet here, but I'm such a slow sewist that I'll probably never fill them all.

We sew because we love the art of creating...making something from nothing...learning a new technique...or taking a journey to a place we haven't been before.<br /><br />Glad you got your skirt made and worn!Carolyn (Diary of a Sewing Fanatic)https://www.blogger.com/profile/02204627216540667980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4507269696688990191.post-48518429670470027152012-02-03T06:23:18.249-05:002012-02-03T06:23:18.249-05:00Interesting questions!

I don't have much in the way of ufo's because I don't have a dedicated sewing space. Otherwise I am sure I would be incorrigible!<br />At the moment, I think I am sewing out of need, but once I stock the wardrobe, I will want to stay in the game too!Karinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06551387452771116176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4507269696688990191.post-78370755232790943932012-02-03T03:09:57.751-05:002012-02-03T03:09:57.751-05:00Awesome skirt Faye, and the fit is fantastic!

My only difference is I will have one machine made garmenet and on hand sewing project going at the same time. I see these as two different time eaters. I can do the hand sewing, like smocking, while watching TV. I still don't start a new project until the like one is completed, like you, Faye. I think its one of the smartest things I have decided about my sewing.Bunnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03672695141031447916noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4507269696688990191.post-59712810058853209962012-02-02T21:06:49.331-05:002012-02-02T21:06:49.331-05:00Nice skirt!

But emotionally, I've never seen a woman who truly believed she had enough clothes, unless she really disliked her looks and didn't want to try to change them.<br /><br />And I sew for the enjoyment, like you do. I've even been sewing a little for a relative in Denver (I made her Thanksgiving dress, which she wore at my house, and just sent her another one last week). It's just fun.<br /><br />So I think your answers are right on.Marjiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14950085029835332900noreply@blogger.com
