I too am gathering a 50's skirt, though i may have overdone it on the gathers. The information on your pattern piece (10 dollars for this?) has inspired an appointment with the unpicker.

I so appreciate the humor and wit of your posts, and today's is wonderfully thoughtful and made me feel warm inside. Yes! Let's enjoy our time today - it's all we have. My fingers are crossed that you'll finish the dress by Saturday. The black looks elegant, but the floral looks more springtime. I prefer black under all conditions.
