New sewing project started. ~The bonnie lass skirt~

I will be the first to admit I am not the craftiest person in the world. I especially find sewing frustrating and without the guidance of my mother I am positive that every attempt I have ever made at sewing would have turned into a disaster. Despite all of this, I am a firm believer that practice makes perfect. My latest sewing goal will be a ruffle skirt.

A link to the McCall's ruffle skirt pattern

I am still debating if I want to make the third or the second skirt shown in the pattern. Hopefully once I have more time to look at the pattern I will come to a decision. The material I decided to use is a very fun madras pattern. A skirt using a similar print was featured in the fabric stores flyer and once I saw it the sewing bug bit me.

The madras material I purchased. It is a bit bright but I think it will turn out to be very beautiful and versatile.It makes me think of something a bonnie lass would wear.
I will update my progress and post the final result when I complete it. Look forward to it!
