Joann's Had a sale this weekend denim on sale for 7.99 YES!!
So I bought 3 yards enough to make about three skirts!
So I went to work and made the first skirt last night my It's a sinch skirt!
I started out with two panels :
1. across the top 28"
2. top hem to bottom hem 28 1/2 or 29 " ( I couldn't get an exact measurement )
| The strip of denim bellow the skirt panels was extra I tried to use for pockets... but I wasn't brave enough |
I did a double 1/2 " seam on either side of the denim .
Then I did the casing ( I made a inch wide casing for 3/4 inch elastic)
| Sewing the casing |
Did a half inch bottom hem with out raw edges. threaded my elastic and sewed it up , sewed shut the casing and walla! all done!!!! Just in time to wear to church!! I love my skirt ! Its falls about mid-calf and with some fleece leggings and my snow boots the 10 degree weather and snow didn't faze me!
