Awwww, thank you so much! Hems are funny, aren't they. Kind of like Goldilocks and the 3 Bears. You don't want them too long..... or too short.... but juuuuuust right! :)

So pretty! And you have the legs for a short skirt, so I say; go for it!

Garments do have their own opinion on what they want to be paired with and how they want to be worn, don't they?! Good point! :)

A lovely skirt - I guess if the hem bothers you enough, you could add an edge to it - choose an Alabama Chanin edge. And I agree, this is a much better way of doing waistbands - if for no other reason than you can easily alter them - replace the elastic easily if need be, or take in the elastic if need be. When elastic is stitched in, it looks great, but it is a pain to undo. A lovely little skirt - and wear it with what suits it. I often have to change my ideas about what to put with what when the garment decides instead of me !

You are right, this is a great outfit for these horribly hot temps! Hem lengths are funny, aren't they. Where a mere 1 - 2" can make a difference between looking/feeling frumpy..... or not!

Hand-stitching still feels new to me, even though I've hand-stitched multiple knit garment necklines now.... I'm always amazed at how much I enjoy it. Like you said, the 'thoughtfulness' of the stitching. The pretty doe deer made my day! So much so, I did not mind sharing my blackberries with her! We do not see deer often anymore. Have a nice day too SaSa!

Just from looking at it, your top and skirt gave the feeling of a very cool outfit for your terribly hot temperatures. I agree that you look great with a shorter skirt length.

I love the thoughtful sewing of your four panel skirt. It makes surely wearing it eve more pleasant. I think the shorter length suits you better, too. What a lovely surprise, a deer in the patch! Have a nice day, SaSa
