Why are sweaters ONLY for the upper half?!? I've been looking for great warm dresses for the girls but felt as if it wasn't going to happen. It'll happen NOW! Thanks! We hit Aunt Sally's and Uncle Will's (Salvation Army and Goodwill) quite often as I felt up the sweaters for the girls play mats I'm making for them. Now....some lovely skirts for all those nonwool cotton sweaters I'm ALWAYS finding in beautiful designs!

When you finish the bottom edge of your skirt, use the same type of stitch that you used to sew the front and back of your skirt together--any of the choices that I laid out work; it just depends on what type of sewing machine you have and what stitches it will do.
