Skirts

This year, Chris and I made a resolution to go back to Church every week. While prepping for Church one Saturday, I realized that I didn't have any skirts that fit me. Problem. Especially since I didn't exactly have the money to go out shopping last minute. After all, it was the first week of the month, rent was due =/ So I started digging around in my closet, looking for something I could alter. I found an old pair of jeans and it made me think of a skirt I bought back in High School. It was made with denim on the top half, and a light cotton on the bottom. So I grabbed the jeans, and an old skirt that was too small around the waist. An hour later and Voila!

A couple weeks later I grabbed my sister and went skirt shopping, and I was very unsuccessful. Everything I found was either wayyyy too short, or it was way too expensive. $100 for a skirt!? I don't think so!!! So we went to the fabric store and grabbed some supplies. Jessa (my sister) had a denim miniskirt that she bought for $1 at a garage sale. She had been holding on to it for something later on. When she saw my first skirt, she knew what she wanted =] So we made her this skirt:

I just finished this one last night. I'm definitely not a fan of how it went together, but I love how it hangs on me. There is some adorable linen at Fabric Depot. I plan on grabbing some and tweaking the pattern a little bit =]
