 Yes, much screaming and jumping up and down
was done by me when I saw it!

I have learned so very much of sewing,
smocking, 
embroidery,
construction,
design,

from this magazine
and it's writers.

Janet Gilbert is my favorite!

(Yes, she knows that I was a stalker fan before
we finally "met" and now we are friends!)



And look!

Our story is even a "cover story"!



So Janet and I worked on this article together.

It features 3 of my skirts
and 3 of Janet's skirts.

One of the skirts is my 
Monkey Girl Bloomer Skirt pattern.

You can buy the pattern here from my blog,

Or from my Etsy store



The corduroy A-line skirt with zipper trim
is featured in the article as a free pattern!

My photos are awful but the photos in the magazine are 
much better!


And the free tutorial for my "Math Skirt"
pattern are featured on the
