I Want. . .

a wrap skirt. Having been inspired by Libby Dibby and by a conversation with Cheri, I really want to make a reversible wrap skirt.  And I think that this one will fit the bill.  Isn't it so me?  I especially love that 1) it's reversible and 2) it ties with a ribbon.  I'm thinking that I'll make one side in a light-weight denim / chambric and one side in a floral.  I'm hoping that I can get by without even making a trip to the fabric store; I'm thinking that I must have something in my stash of fabrics that will be suitable.  I think it'll be perf for teaching this summer.  And if it turns out well, I can see many wrap skirts to come, possibly in Amy Butler fabrics.  This looks to me like it will be a quickie project; maybe I can get one done before mom arrives for her visit next week.  I'm just so excited.

YES! That is so YOU! AND... if you don't find what you need in fabric, I have a whole bunch of 60's material that somebody gave to me and I'm probably never going to use. It's very funky -- right up your alley.

Come by and fetch!
