Ack! More new fabric! Plus TIERED LINEN SKIRT

This came in the mail last week. My fabric stash is experiencing exponential growth before my very eyes. So I decided I needed to made some rules:

Rule 1: May only cut into one new project once another WIP has been finishedRule 2: May only buy fabric when equal amount of fabric has been used up (scraps don't count)Rule 3: If cannot follow rules 1 or 2, find new bigger house for fabric stash.So far I've been pretty good about only sewing my WIPs but it's not great blogging as it's mostly the boring stuff or stuff I got stuck on for some problem or another. But I am resolved!!! And very motivated, since I haven't sewn anything for the new baby yet and I really really want to.So since I finished the Octotunic (that was a WIP on my list), I got to start another project, a tiered linen skirt from Amazing Mae's Tutorial which was so fun and easy I have to pass this along:The pattern was from Traci of Amazing Mae who really is Amazing because she pumps out stuff like nobody's business and it's all cute, including this awesome tutorial. I made mine out of a nice lovely chocolatey linen from Sew Mama Sew with the hopes that it would function as a maternity skirt. Turns out my belly is too big/low, so it's going to have to wait a little longer to be worn, but with the elastic waist it's perfect for lounging around in the summertime. I had to change it a little (my strips were 10.5x23, 6x35, 6x42, 6.5x50) and was too lazy to do the drawstring but otherwise it's the same great skirt. Timewise, it took me an afternoon and an evening to complete (would have taken me an afternoon if I didn't have a toddler on Nap Strike that day). Put that woman on your subscription list and don't look back!UPDATED 4:45 PM: I realized I forgot to mention what the lovely fabric is up top there...I take it for granted since I've been drooling over it for the last few months that some of you may not have ever seen it before. It's called Far, Far Away by the fabulous Heather Ross and it's selling out very very quick as this is (I've heard) the last line of fabric she will be designing/selling. I've seen it at Sew Mama Sew and a bunch of Etsy fabric shops, so do a search for it and buy some right quick!
