The creation of a skirt: Day 1

Schedule, Day 1

• pre-shrink fabric (hot water wash/high heat cycle in the dryer)
  (technically, I did this before Day 1, as I did it at the same time as our regular laundry was going...)
  
• iron fabric
• read pattern directions
• iron pattern pieces
• locate scissors
• find episode of Law and Order on tv (my mindless "watch while crafting" show of choice)
  (Side note: why doesn't Comcast have L&O on its DirecTV offerings??)
  
• cut out pattern pieces
• find pins and cloth shears
• pin pattern pieces to fabric
• cut out fabric pieces
• pile everything up where husband is not likely to step on it
• go to bed
