I made a skirt for my girlfriend a week ago and forgot to share! She loves how it turned out!
It's a classic gathered skirt with two pockets. One pocket is the opening with a button closure. Hook and eyes added for support and to keep the waistband in place. As always, I struggled most with the waistband. My stitches are visible, and I will have to deal with it.
My favorite detail is the little heart button!! ❤️

Me: Hey, I finished that dress I've been planning to make since last May.
My mother, silently grateful my first summer dress of the year is not covered in manic cartoon animals: Oh that looks lovely... Though don't you think you put a bit much fabric into your skirt? You could have used half and had enough left for a second dress.
Me: It's more comfortable this way. Not as clingy. And it's cut to be low waste, so you get a lot of bang for your buck.
Mom: ... How much is in there?
Me: Only like 4 meters.
Mom: Of a low waste pattern.
Me: Yup.
Mom: Give me one reason you need that much "bang for your buck".
Me:

I haven't sewed, beyond the most basic mending and buttons, in twenty years. It's certainly been that long since I made a garment. I have wanted to for years but was never permitted to do so.
But then YouTube recommended a video on how to make an insanely simple no-pattern skirt and... well. I ordered two yards of material and some thread (and elastic, and then pins too but they still haven't arrived) and got busy. I started on the ninth and hand-sewed this entire thing, finishing today.
.
.
The stitches are far from perfectly even and the hem doesn't line up quite on both sides and also it dips a little in the back but it *fits* and it even bells out when I spin (I need to use three yards next time and maybe add a bit of A-line to the pattern) and it is just a practice skirt I had to keep repeating "It's just for practice it doesn't have to be perfect" to myself for a week now but
I am so pleased with myself and how this turned out. ^_^ ^_^ ^_^
