* I know this is the same post as on the Made {4u} blog... Oh well. :)*
So, I made
something for myself... and actually took pictures of it!!!! :)
Here is the
Mustard Yellow 'Infinity" Skirt {a.k.a. the 90 cent skirt}.
Uh hu, NINETY
CENTS. There is a story behind that...
So there was this
gorgeous material at work {I work at a fabric store at the moment}... It was 40%
off, but still too much. And I didn't really need it {always the story}. It was
going to be shipped out to another store, so this was my last chance... I didn't
take it.
A couple of weeks
ago I was going through the remnants bin. Everything in that bin is really small
and 50% off the listed price. And there I found a mustard yello peice of
material.... the exact material that I had be admiring at the beginning of
November!!!! WHAT?!?!?!? It was too short for a modest skirt, but there was lots
of width and I had an idea in my head inspired by a friend's skirt. It was also
$1.80 -half of that is $0.90.
I was trying to
sew it up on Monday morning so I could wear it on Tuesday... but things were NOT
working out. I talked to some ladies from work... their advice helped
immensly!!! I also had a serger from a friend sitting downstairs that a friend
is letting me borrow. I hadn't used it yet, and this was the perfect time.
Without it this skirt would never have been made. That thing works like a
dream!!!! :)

So, this is what
came out of it. It is four peices sewn into one long peice and sewn in a spiral,
hence the infinity part. I thought it was a good name. :) The waistband is
double and really comfortable.
