blown away

As I've been carefully deconstructing a vintage wool bias-cut skirt that will never fit me, I've had Nikki McClure and her x-acto knife on my mind.  I'm continually blown away by her images, as I am by this fantastic printed gabardine which resembles her work so.

After holding on to this skirt for ages and ages, I've finally found a project that is calling its name.  But, more on this later.  I'm afraid if I share too much about my plans I'll jinx myself and won't be able to squeeze enough yardage from the pretty pie-shaped panels.

And, so many thanks for all of the suggestions and kind words about the learning sweater.  I'm going to give fixing it a go.  Will keep you posted.
