Thursday I did indeed finish the skirt! And for one brief, shining moment, I thought I had found a "freebie." Last year I finished these pants, up to the point where they would get elastic for the waist. Since I was putting elastic in the waistband of the skirt, I put some in the pants as well, and was hoping to get to count the yardage for the pants--but I found I'd already done so. However, I get to count it as a finished project, though as my goal for the year is 50 finished projects and I'm now at 26 with 3/4 of the year left to go, that's less exciting. Oh well. I do have a new skirt and a new pair of pants. With--or in spite of--Theo's help, I got the lining for the tank top cut out, sewed the darts and the shoulder seams, and I am happy to say that I figured out this was not going to work at this point, rather than after sewing the pieces together at the neckline. This is usually the sort of thing that I do...
