Well, thank goodness for online shopping! <a href=\"http:\/\/www.kinokuniya.com\/\">Kinokuniya<\/a> saved me from this torture and delivered this sassy little skirt book to my doorstep:<br \/>\n<center><a href=\"http:\/\/www.supereggplant.com\/archives\/skirt alacarte.JPG\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"skirt alacarte.JPG\" src=\"http:\/\/www.supereggplant.com\/archives\/skirt alacarte-thumb.JPG\" width=\"200\" height=\"266\" border=\"3\" \/><\/a><\/center><br \/>\nIt&#8217;s called Skirt a la Carte and complements my Pretty Skirt book (the one <a href=\"http:\/\/brainylady.blogspot.com\">Alison<\/a> sent me last year) very nicely. Here are a couple more skirts from the book:<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.supereggplant.com\/archives\/skirt alacarte 2.JPG\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"skirt alacarte 2.JPG\" src=\"http:\/\/www.supereggplant.com\/archives\/skirt alacarte 2-thumb.JPG\" width=\"220\" height=\"157\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nNow I need some advice. I think I&#8217;m going to make a skirt with the spirograph fabric I got the other day. I might make the skirt on the cover of Skirt a la Carte, but I am also attracted to this style from the Pretty Skirt book:<br \/>\n<center><a href=\"http:\/\/www.supereggplant.com\/archives\/skirts yoke.JPG\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"skirts yoke.JPG\" src=\"http:\/\/www.supereggplant.com\/archives\/skirts yoke-thumb.JPG\" width=\"240\" height=\"174\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/center><br \/>\nThe skirts have a yoke and then some gathering or soft pleating. The thing is, I am short, and my legs are shorter. Is this style going to accentuate that fact and make me look like a big box? Sigh, I want to make one of every design!<br \/>\nOh, and in case you&#8217;re curious, the ISBN for Skirt a la Carte is 4-579-11000-5 and for Pretty Skirt it&#8217;s 4-579-10949-X.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You know how sometimes you see something, and you kind of want it, but you decide you don&#8217;t *need* it, and then you start thinking about it more and more and kicking yourself for not getting it?
