Woman Develops Inexplicably Hostile Attitude Toward Patterns

This is the skirt I made yesterday. I don't know why I refused to use a pattern. It worked out fine, but patterns do help ensure that the things don't turn out all funky. For example, by putting these little pleats on the sides, I feel like the front kind of looks like an apron. But I thought the fabric was so swell I didn't want to break it up with a bunch of pleats. Maybe I'll just wear it today and see how it feels.
