So, there I sat, scissors in hand, fabric in mind, all set and ready to start on a lazy days skirt.
The pattern says:
Determine how long you’d like the finished
Determine how long you’d like the finished
length of the skirt to be; then add 2" to that measurement
Did I measure my daughter?
No.
(she moves too fast)

Did I measure one of her skirts?
No.
(they were in another room)
I just cut.

Did it turn out the right length?
Nope.
(it was tiny)
Another hour, a lot of fiddling, and a couple more inches made it it right.
Note to self: 'lazy day' applies to the wearer, not the sewer.
Still, the skirt is a hit.
She needs another one now,
a bit longer next time, please, mum.

I laughed out loud when reading this post. :)
