Do I need more clothes? No, probably not.
But I've got all these squares now. And I did math and adjusted my skirt pattern. And the bodice pieces are already cut out.
And, and... I would have to turn these into an actual quilt if I don't, and I'm pretty much out of materials to do that.

Me: Hey, I finished that dress I've been planning to make since last May.
My mother, silently grateful my first summer dress of the year is not covered in manic cartoon animals: Oh that looks lovely... Though don't you think you put a bit much fabric into your skirt? You could have used half and had enough left for a second dress.
Me: It's more comfortable this way. Not as clingy. And it's cut to be low waste, so you get a lot of bang for your buck.
Mom: ... How much is in there?
Me: Only like 4 meters.
Mom: Of a low waste pattern.
Me: Yup.
Mom: Give me one reason you need that much "bang for your buck".
Me:
#sewing#skirt is Salix by Unendlich Schön#lengthened by a full 30 cm#because yolo#bodice is from the Riviera dress by Lotte & Ludwig#straight neckline and no fake button placket#fabric is Aina from IKEA#and a lil square of jersey in the back#you're supposed to not wash the linen on normal#and don't put it in the dryer#whoops#it's now soft as a cloud#skirt go spinny#I might need to get more of this fabric#also 10/10 would recommend just straight up replacing a back panel with jersey instead of putting in a zipper#you do have to gather (part of) your skirt onto elastic but that's still more idiot proof to sew or wear than an elastic#and yes#there's pockets#smaller than intended#but still plenty big for my phone and wallet#i then showed my creation to a sewing friend who loves skirts that are knee length or higher#she said she would immediately wear that dress if it were half as long#GOOD NEWS#it's supposed to be#and you can even make it a patchwork pattern#we're not gonna talk about how long this took to hem#pictures taken outside because it was the first warm day of the year#and also because I can't spin it safely while indoors#i could remake it in manic cartoon but it would cost at least twice as much
