Holiday sewing

Wrap skirt on yoke - Polli's patterns

So, my holiday sewing consisted of a new skirt for me, three more Tis the Season blocks and some Christmas gift sewing (you just get a sneak peek of the Christmas item.)  Would you believe I have had this skirt pattern and fabric all cut out and ready to sew for two years!  I think part of the reason for my procrastination was that I wasn't happy with the size I had cut out, not that it was the wrong size for me at the time, but it was a size I was unhappy about being.  But that's a story for another day!  I am immensely satisfied with the skirt for lots of reasons:  because I finally sewed it and it only took a morning to complete; because I was able to trim the side seams to a more acceptable size; it was an easy enjoyable pattern to use and fits perfectly; and I love the fabric!  The photos are not the best and I was reluctant to include the full length photo but hubby Paul says I shouldn't have another faceless 'Wilson' shot!  I am still loving working on the Tis the Season blocks and try to always have one ready to stitch when I have spare moments.  It was also a good feeling being able to tick off another item on the Christmas Angel list.  Well, I must get my next Tis the Season stitchery traced ready to start sewing tonight, Wendy xx
