When she showed me, I mentally put it on my list of things I wanted to make this summer. The other day I started looking through my moms old patterns to find one to start this pencil skirt. She had thrown the one I was looking for away, so I decided to make my own pattern instead.
Youtube offers a plethora of how-to's for skirts, shirts, dresses, etc. I found one that showed me how to make a pattern for a pencil skirt and I was on my way. I used the back of old Christmas wrapping paper for the pattern:
After I made the pattern (only took around 20 minutes), I found some cool purple denim that I thought would work well. The fabric ended up being cheap and didn't hold my seams. SO. I was forced to resort to plan B.
Plan B:
1. Find fanned green skirt at thrift store for $1
2. Cut off 6 inches from the bottom
3. Hem up an inch
4. Make bow from the fabric I cut off
5. Glue on bow to skirt with fabric glue my mom got for Christmas
I finally got my bow skirt (which I kinda love).
P.S. Since I've been home I have not touched pants, capris, or shorts. Summer skirts and me love each other. ha.
P.S.S. I am still going to do something with that darn purple skirt. I think.
Happy Happy Summer days!
