Here is Jessica's completed skirt. After watching  "Gone With the Wind" Jessica decided to design on paper her idea of the skirt she wanted to make.  She bought a simple long skirt pattern, the fabric, and lace, and then spent many hours altering, designing, and making  her skirt.  What a beautiful finished article of clothing.
