Chocolate faux suede skirt completed

Here's another piece for the 'Amber Glow' Collection, a chocolate brown faux suede skirt with a flounce at the hem.
The flounce comes from another pattern and is morphed on to my favourite straight skirt pattern.

Amber Glow progress (or lack thereof)

The Amber Glow progress is frankly minimal. I have lost interest in it which is terrible.
I have also lost my invisible zipper foot despite much hunting which gained me an entire box full of pins and
a vial of sewing machine oil, but no foot.
So today I gave in and ordered a new one from Jaycotts. I use it so much I am desperate without it.

I am already thinking what I can add in to the SWAP that is purchased or previously made, and have in mind a previously made cream blouse and a purchased brown jacket. I think my main issues are a lot of paid work interfering with sewing time, and not wanting to sew dark brown now it is Spring.

Anyway I will have some time to sew over Easter but may go off piste a bit and make PJ pants or something.
I'm now about to go away again with work for 3 days.which whilst interesting and useful sure cuts into sewing time a lot.

Amber Glow: SWAP 2010 Plan #1

I'm running with two overlapping SWAP plans this year. The 'Amber Glow' plan is inspired by a number of pieces of amber jewellery I received as gifts for Christmas/Birthday this year. The plan has a dark brown base and orange, gold and ivory accent pieces. Hopefully they will work well with the amber jewellery. I'll update the plan picture as I sew more items to go into the collection.
