DIY skirt


I'm quite pleased with myself. I bought this fabric at the Crate & Barrel outlet in Illinois (possibly the greatest store EVER!) for 95 cents a pound. It was crazy! Normally this fabric is $35 a yard. Now that's a silly price, but my 95 cents a pound was a steal!!!

The easiest thing to make, I assumed, would be a skirt. I had never used elastic before, but how hard can it be?!?

Turns out, not hard at all - ta da!

What was hard was trying to make the blue lining for the inside. I ended up giving up on it. I hope the white skirt isn't too see-through. I guess I'll find out the first day I wear it to work.
