So, my dad and my brother came home last night & I got my camera back!  Now I can show you my finished skirt.  It probably wasn't the best project for a beginner, so it took me a long time but I really like how it came out.  I can't wait to start my next project!  I bought the pattern and fabric on Friday.  I haven't decided exactly which combination of the pattern I want but it's sort of a cute short-sleeve cropped jacket.  With the left over gray fabric and some purple floral fabric, I'm going to attempt to make a little clutch today.  I don't expect it to be very good because I don't have any lining or anything to close it, but I might as well try.
