My youngest DD wants some skirts and I wanted a book called "Sew What Skirts." Bought the book,it teaches skirt drafting. I got her measurements when I saw her last weekend and drafted a straight skirt today, cut it out, have most of it together. Now I have to wait until I see her on over the holiday, try it on her and then I can add the waistband and hem it. The best part is I used some fabric from the stash for my toile. That way after I make the adjustments she can wear it. I like the idea of drafting my own pattern rather than buying one. This way I know I made it to her measurements without making a lot of pattern adjustments. Juno
