FAIL skirt and trip to Hilco

DD came home for the weekend, primarily to visit friends and recharge a bit. We had a chance to visit and to try on skirts. As known, the black one was way too large. The white sloper was a little too tight, so I adjusted it until it fit.
However, it was quickly clear that the cut of the skirt is not at all what she wants. She wants something more like a pencil-skirt, so it's back to the design board. I found a pattern in a 2009 Burda magazine that actually is a pencil skirt, so I'll be cutting that out tonight and making a sloper BEFORE I cut into regular fabric. Good thing I just bought new sloper fabric last Friday at Hilco. I love going there, they have a garage out front at which they sell remnants and seconds. Upstairs in the factory outlet store they have mostly first quality product as well as notions.
I bought pocket lining fabric at 1 Euro per meter to make slopers. I think this one has YSL woven into it, so I'm making a "luxury" throwaway sloper. LOL. There was also some quilt fabric, from Makower if I recall correctly, and I bought some at 8 Euro per meter.
Upstairs I bought some corduroy to make a bag for my plexiglas quilting extension table, and some fabric and a pattern to make a bag. It was a lot of fun to go shopping with my quilting buddy Andrea, and hope to go again soon.
