Tango of the Tablecloth

This may be my favorite skirt yet. So if nobody buys it, I may just have to keep it to myself! The red and white checker and ruffle are both from tablecloths from my mom. The pocket is made from the same table cloth that went into this skirt. The gold trim around the pocket was taken from an extra large african dress that I picked up at the salvation army here in Bedstuy. The great thing about these skirts is they can also be worn as dresses.

The other great thing about these skirts is they look so cute with high heels! I rarely wear high heels because a) they hurt and b) I'm already tall. If wearing high heels puts you over the 6 foot mark, it's hazardously unstable, in my opinion. But it does look good in photos.

On a side note, I'm feeling more and more confident about this-a here skirt   business of mine. I think I'm going to continue to refine my design sense, making these skirts one at a time before I really expand. I'm a little intimidated by the idea of drafting up a business plan, getting a loan etc. plus I really just don't have the room right now. As it is I've taken over part of our roommate's living space with my ironing board and after all the earrant bits of lace and polka dot fabric that gets everywhere, I understand a person can only be polite for so long.  Perhaps I'll focus more on the peacock feather jewelry, since it takes up less room. Sigh...patience...it's a virtue.
