It was bigger than a twin, which is what was suggested by Lisa, so I decided to use some of it to make a skirt for myself first. I've been wanting to make the tiered Amy Butler Barcelona Skirt and thought the black and tan sheet was perfect! It was!
(Caution! Click on photo to enlarge at your own risk! It is an awful photo, but I'm sure you could already tell.)
I didn't use the tissue pattern from the Barcelona pattern because my measurements all fit in the S,M,L sizes listed on the pattern. Rather than figure out how to make the appropriate adjustments I decided to make my own skirt pattern instead. I used the Sew What! Skirts book for the fitted A-line skirt and then used my SWS paper pattern in place of Amy's. I followed her instructions for construction and ended up with a great piece.
So, with a completed skirt and left over fabric, I decided the black and tan was the perfect sheet to swap. I can't wait to see what I get in return!

Oooh, that is so cute! If I didn't already have too many unworn skirts I'd join the swap. At least I can live vicariously through your lovely work!
That black & tan sheet is so cool! Your skirt turned out great.
I was one of the lucky ones to get this in the swap and I love it. Thanks. You can see it over at my blog or in the flickr group.
I got some of this too and it is going to be the first thing I sew... I am hoping that it is as easy as the tutorial makes it look since I literally have never sewed anything before... Hopefully I will be able to blog a cute skirt soon too!
