As evidenced above, the idea for this skirt has been brewing in my head since at least the 5th of October. I am fairly positive I drew it before, but my "Ideas and Inspirations" catalog currently consists of bits of paper divided unevenly among several bags and bookshelves. It is not an organization system I'd recommend.
I really enjoyed taking the skirt from idea to finished garment. I used Simplicity 4036 for the A-line skirt pattern. The circles, about five inches wide, were made from the "wrong" side of the denim and go all the way around the hem. I almost made the circles smaller after a friend said it reminded her of a poodle skirt. However, I decided to stick to my original idea. I'm glad I did. I like the whimsy the large circles add to a basic denim skirt.
As for the rest of the list, I gave up on the dress and the remaining two items are still on my to do list, wherever it is.

Really cute and slightly outside the box. You wear it well!
I looooove big circles. I sell scarves appliqued with them like this: http://www.flickr.com/photos/geekxnerd/1528784790/in/set-72157602222795810/. Your skirt is awesome. I really love that all you did was reverse the denim - the color contrast is neat.
It's great! You're so talented!!
