This look speaks to me but it's yelling "I look so stupid." Just not pretty on a dress--maybe a funky purse or pillow.

Kwik Sew pattern 3097 - reversible bias cut skirt. I made mine with eyelet on one side and a solid color silk on the other.

Black is always good, especially if you're in Italy. Take colorful scarves to jazz it up.

I tried a duck tape one using someone else's instructions. Those didn't include the instructions for a stand or what to do about the sticky residue on the edges of the duck tape so I threw "me" away. I'll make another one now that I know how to solve those 2 problems.

Thanks so much.
