Sewing frustrations

i'm making a couple of skirts for shaun to give me for christmas. My sister kindly gave me some fabric a year or two ago, and they are uber cute patterns.

However, getting the pattern to fit on the amount i had was tricky. There was barely enough of the 1, and not quite enough of the 2nd. However, being a seamstress, i knew it wasnmt impossible.

I'm already putting a trim on the bottom of the second skirt, so there's a little bit of play room on the hem. When i laid everything out. It looked like i would be fine, until i started cutting out. Then i discovered that i wasn't going to be able to get a second piece on the fold. Oh well, a hem in the back is not the end of the world. After i had cut them out. I put them together to fold up until i was ready to sew. Turns out, i cut part of it backwards. So, i had to finagle another piece!!
Good thhing i'd already decidd that the pockets could be plain white and not out of the skirt material!!
