Stripey stripes

mercy_angel_09I'm sewing a couple of skirts. One skirt is made out of an off-white linen. The other is made out of black and white striped linen. The fun part is hoping that I cut the fabric correctly so that it doesn't make me look wider than I am. So far all of the stripes vertical where it counts (center front and center back), but once everything gets sewn into place I have no idea if it'll still be that way. :/
So...tonight I probably start pinning everything into place to double check. I may even start sewing, as I'm sewing mostly straight lines which theoretically means that I could finish the skirt tonight and then have tomorrow to finish the second one. Seriously, straight lines. I'm a big fan of sewing in straight lines.
Nothing else exciting going on around here. It's cooled down a bit, but we've been dry with high winds. Basically that translates to, "If anything catches on fire, we're screwed!" Knock on wood that we haven't and WON'T.
