Project #1 - black pencil skirt

I rarely make New Year resolutions. I tend to set goals year-round. So I don't have a list of new goals to share here. What I can share is my dirty little secret - sometime during the last year, my sewing mojo left the building. Now, I'm going to find it and bring it back, even if I have to drag it in here screaming.

And so I start off this year finishing a UFO. This poor almost-finished skirt was languishing in my UFO pile. I decided to make it whole. It really didn't need much - just the hem and topstitching along the upper edge. I wore it today (outfit on the left) and found it very comfortable. It's made of a lightweight wool crepe, lined with Ambiance. As a departure from my usual preferences (skirts that taper to the hem and have a vent in the back), I omitted the vent and kept the side seams straight from the hips down. So far, I like the look though I reserve the right to change my mind later.

I think I am going to number my projects from now on, so that I can better keep track of how much I sew and knit. We'll see if I can remember to do that.
