Pretty in Plaid
>> 7.12.2010
So I finally did it! I finished my skirt project. It didn't take nearly as long as I thought. And it was super easy!
I started with an old shirt of my husband...
My idea was to follow the instructions I found in Megan's blog. She is so cute and so talented! Well because my shirt had pockets, I couldn't cut from arm pit to arm pit. So I had to cut a little higher and then sew the sleeve a little. Then I sewed the top over about 1 1/2 inch because I only had 1/2 inch elastic. Then I slipped the elastic in, sew the ends together, and then sewed the hole. Viola!
A skirt!
Cute, right!?
That's the details, sort of.
Well, too bad. It doesn't fit. :o(
Oh well. Guess I'll try again with a different shirt.
