Bumped the old thread for you! Oh, I used to love MASH, watched it all the time as a kid (I was not very closely supervised 🙂

@justsewit You only have to sew one! You can do it!

Okay, I’ve sewed up the 4th Oliver+S skirt! You can see my blog post here. (http://skirtfixation.com/2015/04/22-pleated-skirt-and-blouse-all-the-skirts-olivers-and-fat-quarter-shop/) I think I’ve made it more difficult by deciding to sew all the tops with the skirts too!
