Isn't she beautiful? I met Jess through Rainbow several years ago. Well, Jess longed for a lovely skirt, and my solution to that was to suggest she come for a visit and we'd make her a skirt. I think we did very well. Check out the spin and the applique on this.
I was a bit anxious about doing applique, my only attempt at it in the past was a huge failure. I been reading lots of advice from my friends over at hippiesew and I thought I had a pretty good idea on how to do it, but you just never know until you try something how it's going to go. I really like this pocket, I lined the back of it with that pink calico and couldn't help myself from making a little trim at top, too.
