The ugly skirt

Back in February, I had a fabulous non-birthday weekend when my old school mate Melissa came over to Brighton. Whilst we were mooching around The Lanes, we spotted a great fabric shop, where Mel fell for some "ugly" daisy fabric. She works for the Electoral Commission and so will get to be on tv when the count is done, so the dare was if I could overcome my fear of making clothes and make her a skirt, she'd wear it on tv!

It's unfortunately taken me ages to finish it, but as the european elections were this week it spurred me into action and so I finally got it done and in the post on Friday. Thankfully Mel really likes it! Now we'll just have to wait and see if she wears it (I want photographic evidence!)
