Well I finally got back on the crafting train after a post-holiday hiatus. I needed something that would be quick, easy, and an almost guaranteed success. After struggling with a few holiday crafts, I almost felt like I had lost my crafting mojo. Anyone else ever have this happen?
Anyway, I was perusing Pinterest, and came across this maxi skirt tutorial and decided to give it a go.
My JoAnn is getting ready to move locations and hasn't had any new stock in two months (it's very sad to see the store so picked over, but alas, the new store will be worth it), so their knit selections were limited. Since I decided I can no longer pull off sparkly knits, I stuck with black and grey. Unfortunately, the only grey they had was a polyester knit, which was harder to work with (it's slippery), and has proven to snag a little easier. Oh well, for my first foray into skirt making, it came out just fine!
My advice if you want to make this: try it on as you go (the waist of mine ended up being way too big), and make the waistband longer so you can fold it over! I figure the waistband being big will be convenient as my waistline expands over the next 6 months or so. ;)
Happy Crafting!
