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! 

Nightstand.

So, lately I've been trying to redecorate my room. I started with my lamp, (which you can find here) but it's taken a while for me to get started on the other items. Finally, I was able to finish my nightstand this week! I'm soo pleased with how it came out. Let me just say, I've never been so nervous while painting strips....Then again, I don't think I've ever painted stripes before....Hahaha.

What do you think? Do you like the way it turned out? I absolutely love it!

It's not the best photo, but it gives you an idea of what the top looks like. 

I'm so glad it turned out exactly how I wanted it to! 

Oh, sorry I don't have a tutorial of how I did it... All I can say it that I followed this video, then made a template out of cereal box and traced the pattern right on the nightstand....Have a great night!
