Tan Twill Skirt & Joann's Gift Card

Another skirt.  Nothing exciting to report.  It's my TNT Yvette skirt.  I lengthen it by 7" and added an enclosed kick pleat at the back.  I saw a tutorial on It's Sew Easy I had DVR'd.  Easy & quick!

    1. This kick pleat is my "new" favorite way. I like that I don't have to worry about a flash when I bend over. No skin show! I'm hoping to get to the rest of the fabric haul this weekend! Thank you for the kind comments and for stopping by!
