New Skirt

This project has been done a while, it's just taken me some time to write it up, sorry.

Here's a new skirt I made for KK.

Look at that twirl!! Isn't it so fun!!

It's really a very simple skirt (and even easier if you use a jersey instead of cotton like I did).
The directions are here (sorry that it take you to page where you have to follow a link for the actual directions, but I wanted you to see the actual skirt instead of just the instructions).

I found the cute circle fabric at Goodwill for $.88- and it was 5 ft long!! That's almost two yards of fabric for less than a dollar!! Hello budget friendly!!

And the under layer of teal came from a mismatched set of pillowcases I was given from my aunt.

As you can see, I made my under level a little longer to show off more of the plain teal. (It's pretty much a perfect middle between the two teals on the circles.) Also, this was pre-hemming, so that's why it looks a little uneven- because it is.

After hemming, I attached the pieces together and then added a thick elastic waist band.

We decided on gold, it almost looks like natural turquoise, between the teals and brown circles with the gold glittery waist- I love it!! (And so does KK!!)

One last shot of the finished project:

That's all for now,
Jo!
