I've never sewn a bias skirt before, but gettin' the muslin out this week to try this pattern again, but with the longer skirt and cut on the bias. Getting my sewing book out for tips, but if you know of any websites with good directions on bias cutting and sewing I'd be so grateful. Gosh, why didn't I think of that?? I guess my unexperienced brain thinks bias=evening dress and not as a regular dressmaking technique. You rock!

I never know for sure what they will work for, but I know I am always happy when I rummage through my tote and I have that little piece of perfect fabric for whatever project I'm working on!
