refashioned skirt.







there is a reason i don't iron.

please see exhibit A. and exhibit B.

(exhibit A)

(exhibit B)

totally torched it. whoops.


(now don't judge but i might have worn it a few times like that.)

there is also a reason i go to joanns biweekly..

to get roaring hot deals.

like this crazy cool fabric i scored in the remnants bin at a 50% off.

but it was on sale so i got another 40% off my 50% which brought it down to $2.

things like this make my week.

so i bought it..
and measured my skirt

and cut two panels and sewed them together....
then did a loose base stitch and gathered it up....
and sewed it all along the top of mt skirt......

and the fabric doesn't fray so i didn't even finish the ends...(and fyi..it's really acutally even along the bottom...not entirely sure why it didn't photograph that way!) but you are sadly mistaken if you think i am going to retake the pictures...cause i aint'.


and ANOTHER fyi..didn't know i had hole in my tights. thanks daughter number 2 with the velcro on your shoes.

it's nice and stretchy and flowy and it was super easy to make and i love it.

i also feel i should mention that the shirt is miley cyrus from walmart that i scored for $2.


i am going back to joanns today to see if i can find some more of this..
it would be so perfect for a kid's pettiskirt!

or maybe a scarf...

or maybe another skirt.
and then my daughter wanted to get in the pictures...
.
and apparently you have to kick your foot up...

    Not only is this the most darling thing ever, but of course your skinny enough to make it even cuter. LOL And that little bug of yours is just a living doll. If you get tired of her I will surely find a place here for her for a day or two. :) I look on your blog daily to find new ideas and get so excited to finds things. Thanks so much for sharing.
