Cute Skirt for a Cute Sister

So, it all started with a party invitation. As a fashion student, the first thing I thought about was what I was going to wear. Keiko told me to keep practicing my sewing, so I decided to make a denim skirt. I picked up a pattern and fabric and got to work. I'm not at the level to alter patterns yet, and the skirt didn't end up fitting me. However, it did fit my younger, but much taller sister. She really knows how to pose for the camera...
Don't you just love skirts and dresses with pockets? I do!!!!!

I had enough fabric to construct another skirt, and I did, but something wasn't quite right about it in the zipper. It was a good attempt for my second time though. My mother told me that the skill of a seamstress can be determined by how well the zipper is sewn into the garment. I need lots of practice...
