Saturday morning
found me with
these...
bits and pieces of altered tees.
This day I was looking at sleeves
that had been cut from
their respective shirts
during
the makeover.
As you now know...
I hold onto each piece because
I know I will find
a use for them.
Saturday found me here...
wishing I had a Serger...
but alas I do not...
so traditional seaming
with a follow-up
zigzag
will have to do.
This was the result.
So simple and fun.
I cut the sleeves open
on the seamless side...
opened and ironed
and used the "seamed sides as the
right side...
(you know I love seams on
the out rather than the in)
Sewed the sections together
(narrow at the top...wide
at the bottom to create
the flair)
in a most pleasing
way.
Created a waistband from
a doubled-over section
of
you-guessed-it...
leftover t-shirt.
Then I tried it on.
A sweet summer skirt...
not too long
not too short...
but as Goldilocks would say...
just right.
Comfy cotton
paired with a comfy cotton tank
and flip flops...
The perfect ensemble
for a summer outing
to an art festival...
grad party...
outdoor concert...
romantic picnic...
walk on the beach...
or
________.
You fill in the blank.
As I look at these pics...
I think there is something
missing...
I think I know what that something is.
Stop back soon for
the truly
finished
Saturday Skirt.
Enjoy your day.
Spread peace.
Oh, I love this skirt!! And I don't own a Serger either....
