Do you have a skirt in your closet that looks similar to this??
Would you like it to look like this instead??
I sure did!!
And I read this fabulous blog
And made my own...
Mine isn't as cute as hers since my skirt was a lighter denim, and I made my strip bigger than my ruffle on accident ,and my flower is different, and I couldn't gather it because I didn't have any heavy duty thread so I did some evenly spaced tucks instead... But I am thinking of embellishing it with some ribbon and it will be fabulous!
I am always telling my kids "If you say you can't do it, then you can't. If you say you can, then you can!" But I didn't really take my own advice. I have always thought I couldn't read a crochet pattern... Just can't figure out all those abbreviations, I would say... Well, guess what I found out- I really can! Thanks to Lyndee printing out a couple pages on crochet abbreviations- I now can read a pattern!! What a confidence booster!
I have always said that I can't sew either and I am on a mission to remedy that! The skirt showed me that I can! I love doing crafts related to fashion and home decor. (Scrapbooking in a lost art in my book!) And I am so excited to test my craftiness on more projects!!
Like making some coordinating skirts like this for my girls and I. And maybe some ties for Jared and Milo... (I am thinking Easter outfits!)
And my couches and chairs could so use some of these!
I am soo proud of myself!!
As you should be!!! I love your creative exuberance. I wish I had your energy. I'm in a funk these days. I'd love to over haul house, clothes, etc. but I'm too tired!! Please oh please send some of your creative juices and energy my way!!
ReplyDeleteI think you did a wonderful job on your skirt!!
Fantastic!!! You did a great job, Carre! I love that you just found something you wanted to do, and you did it! I have a thousand projects that "i'll get to someday". Way to go!
