My proudest yet

I have heard about so many people shopping at their local thrift store and making huge finds.  Whether it's furniture, clothes, or fabric.  Well, I decided to go today to look for some vintage fabric.  I knew I would have to keep an open mind and look at things with a different eye.  Perhaps, a bed sheet, or drapes, or even a scarf.  Well, I came across this pillow case and I had a light bulb moment.  No, it's not entirely vintage looking, but it played on me with a kind of sweet country feel.  I thought " why couldn't I use a pillow case for a super simple skirt?" So, I bought this one and a couple other cases for a DOLLAR each.

I sat down to my sewing machine and 10 minutes later, including cutting and ironing, this came out perfect.  No kidding, a 10 minute, $1.50 skirt (including the elastic waistband). There was no hem, the pillow case already had one, there was no side seam, the pillow case already had one, I literally made the waistband and that is it!!!!


I could really get used to this!




Happy Summer!
