This weekend I made:
1. A coffee cake.
It was very good. We’ve been eating it for breakfast, ignoring the fact that it contains four types of sugar.
2. A skirt and three-quarters. I started one skirt combining two patterns to try to get what I had in mind (a yoked, above the knee skirt) but after installing the zipper I realized it was way too small. Being single-minded, I attempted another, this time drafting my own pattern.
This was also too small, perhaps due to my increased coffee cake consumption. I’ve offered it to Erin and I’m waiting to hear back from her but if not I may give it away elsewhere. Stay tuned. I was sad because it is cute. I went out yesterday to find this book but being the newly instituted Family Day all the bookstores were closed. At least I learned how to effectively install a zipper.

That coffee cake looks delicious! I think I gained 10 pounds just drooling over the picture.
Sorry about the skirt. These days, I tend to make things too big instead of too small. LOL

O man I have a weakness for coffee cake, and I burst out laughing over the skirt being too small due to increased coffee cake consumption.
Today I was smart and brought the rest of my baked goods in to work just to get rid of them.
