It takes a lot of experience for a girl to kiss like a beginner.

when i lived in colorado I had a great wardrobe of wool skirts. they could be worn from october to april. but then in alabma they were a rarity and  I only worose shorter ones occasionally in deep winter ( 2 weeks in january) 

 

So here I am back in winter weather and I have all these great skirts but- argh I hate to admit this - I am no longer a size 8. so I have been slowly altering them whenever they can handle it and this morning I did a brilliant thing. I had two siz3 6 party skirts. one was black velvet and the other was cut velvet on chiffon - also black. well I turned them into one larger wrap around skirt with an assymetrical hem line and it's delicious and swirly. I might wear it to a friends house for christmas dinner.

 

yesterday I finished remaking a red tartan kilt  buy having fewer pleasts and using a black wool bias facing for the inner waistband. and tomorrow I may rework a fantastic green kilt- the authentic thing with leather buckles. It just involves letting  out a pleat or two and adding to the waistband. quite easy.

 

it's like getting a whole new wardrobe without spending any money. and fasting then knitting.
