My unproductive productive day

Sooo it almost midnight and I am just now about to begin sewing. I spent a lot of time today marketing online, taking care of a very angry two year old and running errands. Josh suggested that I have sewing days, and marketing days, because it takes so much time to market but thats just not fun! I have wanted to make a pettiskirt for awhile now but was too intimidated and this past weekend I sat down (for an entire day) and tried and I am convinced I can do it, now that I get the general concept its easy (just time consuming). However I don't have the proper supplies (nylon chiffon, and a proper fitting ruffler foot). I plan on getting a ruffler foot thats made for my machine in the very near future (after returning this generic one to Joannes) and ordering Nylon Chiffon offline since all the fabric store in my area only carry polyester (word to the wise, do not waist your money trying to ruffle polyester chiffon all it does is fray!!).  But since I am dying to do a pettiskirt I think I am going to practice by making a tulle pettiskirt and using elastic thread to ruffle. Ive read that the ones may not look as soft but are much more durable, we will see how it goes!
