When I was young, if I wanted to make a skirt, we went to the fabric store, looked through the pattern books, bought the pattern, fabric, and notions, pinned the tissue to the pattern, cut out all the little triangles... and so on. Eleanor, on the other hand, picked up some fabric from a trunk sale, looked up free skirt patterns on the web, printed off the directions and went to town. Now she's almost one skirt richer.
