I got too cocky with the skirts.
I was still riding the skirt high. I was all “oh this is easy! I can follow patterns! Look at me go!”. I bought an easy (no zippers!) pattern for my daughter and naively thought I could whip up a pair of shorts and maybe even a shirt as quickly as I made the Matchy McMatcherson skirts.
HA!
I wanted to make shorts. I ended up making an unrecognizable wad of fabric.

No, no don’t say that! Only just yesterday I found some pretty spring fabric in the back of the linen closet and thought, “Surely, I could whip up a quick sundress for Sister. How hard could it be?” After reading your post, I am fearful that over-confidence may get the best of me…
Oh and I enjoyed reading some of your past posts too. You have such a pleasant writing style.
