Skirt I plan to wear with boots

This is McCall's 3341, C.  The finished length was longer than the picture on me.  The fabric was in remnant bin.  I love the tan with navy. Didn't take too long to finish but I added a lining which added a few hours. I'm a little concerned that the fabric was fraying. I tried to finish everything with the lining but there are a couple seams that I couldn't fold over on themselves. I hemmed the bottom by hand. I like how it turned out. I just hope it makes it through washing/wearing.

Latest dress

I did this last week by modifying the sleeveless New Look 6210/A. I had bought the fabric over the winter from the remnants bin. I changed the top of the pattern to be C but with a rounded neck. After I was finished I decided that I wanted sleeves. I used http://www.merricksart.com/2014/09/diy-friday-adding-sleeves-to-sleeveless.html?m=1 to create a sleeve pattern. I did have to take in under the arms & center back a little because the holes were a littr loose.  I think its good but we'll see how I feel when I get to wear it
