Who could resist such a challenge??
I'm all about skirts, you know. Besides being way more comfortable than jeans, skirts are fun to twirl, and make me feel more "at home" with myself. This is who I am. I love to dress up, love to try new things, and love to alter or create anything I can get my hands on.
I made the last skirt from upholstery fabric. Yes, indeed, I did.
Tonight I was looking for a plain skirt to alter. It seems that I don't actually own a plain jane skirt, but there was a pillowcase folded on the couch. The lowly white pillowcase needed a makeover.
And so the fun begins...
Cut up strips of anything you want to use. I thought I'd use another pillow case, but then saw this lace curtain and gauzy yellow fabric. Gather material and sew on. I didn't bother to hem or measure. This is a fun, easy skirt...meant to have a slightly messy, uneven look just-for-the-heck-of-it.
Easy, fast. Sewing while watching movies is double the pleasure. I get relaxing time with the Man, while also getting my Craft On.
Trying it on, before sewing up the top.
Finished.I do need to at least clip the threads off!! And possibly wear a shirt that semi-matches, instead of my tankini.
So many skirt ideas, so little time.

I love this skirt! Soooo cute!
This is so amazing and creative. I love it!
That's so great! But you asked "Who could resist such a challenge?" : Me! I would totally have screwed it up.
Oh my goodness! I love this!! What a great idea! I love that you used a pillow case to make yourself a skirt instead of a little girl's dress/shirt. I have a few plain white mis-matched pillow cases from over the years that I think would be perfect for such a thing! Thank you!!
