Two Tone Denim Skirt.

As I sit here watching football with my mom I decided this would be a good time to show you the new skirt I refashioned. I'm actually wearing this skirt right now. Well, I've been wearing it as much as I possibly can this week. hehe. It's definitely one of my favorite denim skirt now. :D So here's what I did.

As I was going through some of the skirts I don't wear anymore earlier this week, I came across these two denim skirts.

As you can see, one skirt has already been refashioned, but sadly it has been torn... 

 See, isn't it sad?? I got the idea to combine both skirts because the already refashioned one would be too short if I chopped the trim off.

 I cut the trim off and then measured where the 2nd skirt fit that circumference.

 Next, I sewed the two pieces together. The nice thing about using the bottom of the skirt was that I didn't have to hem! Yay!

Annnddd THIS this the end product. It turned out to be the perfect length! It took me a little while to get used to the two toned look, but now I really like it! What do you think? Would you wear something like this?

It's *almost* a mermaid style skirt... :D Have an awesome night!

The Girl In The Green Skirt.

Yesterday I was sitting around trying to think of what to do. Since school  has been out, I'm finding it hard to keep myself busy. After a while I realized that I had enough fabric left over from another project to make a skirt. (I'll be posting about the first project that I used this fabric for in the future.)

Ahh my trusty sewing machine.... Actually it's my moms... haha. I just repainted my desk, so I thought I'd so you a sneak peek at it. ;)

This is the pretty fabric that I used. I love bold colors!

First I measured where I needed to sew. It turned out that it was exactly the width and length I needed.

Time to sew up the sides!

Since I didn't want it to be too fitting, I attached some elastic and sewed some darts in the front as well.

Next it was time to hem and sew the waistband. 

Here's how it turned out! I must say, I'm rather pleased with it. : )

Awkward.... 

I thought you needed to see 3 pictures in the same position took get the full effect. haha 

So, what do you think? Have an awesome day!
