What will you wear on Christmas Day?

I have found myself thinking at last about myself this Christmas and what do I have to wear?  Back in days gone by, when my children were small I would have worn jeans, but I want to get back to who I am again.  I used to love making my own clothes, but was not able to find the time when my children were small.  I also love vintage clothes and have a huge collection of vintage patterns, so...

The Christmas present shopping is nearly finished.
The tree and decoration are up.
Food is planned and I will be getting in the food shop this weekend.
It is also my birthday soon.

I think I need something new.  I found some great Italian wool mix fabric on Ebay in red with small coloured bubbles all over it.  I plan to make a skirt for Christmas day and to wear at my birthday dinner this weekend.  I have a pattern from the 1950s which is flared / full circle style skirt.  The only thing is I don't have a zipper the right colour, so I think I will use poppers instead.

I hope I find the time to make the skirt.
