What I Made to Wear Wednesday - T-Shirt Skirt

I actually made this a few weeks ago and have been wearing it lots but keep thinking, "oh, I'll take a picture next time I wear it," which of course never happened... until today!  I was finally folding the enormous pile of clothes IronFish washed for me over the past several weeks and decided I'd change into it and picture it.

Truth be told, I really wanted to wait to perfect the design, make another one, that kind of thing.  It is so comfortable and I really love wearing it and I'm hoping to make some and add them to my etsy shop, in both kids and mom's sizes.  But here it is in it's original form, while I busily crochet more angry bird hats than I ever thought I would.  Perfecting the pattern will have to wait a bit.

It's kinda crazy colored, but I usually just wear it with whatever t-shirt I feel like it that day.  Since I was just playing with the design at the time, I used t-shirts that were already cut up instead of cutting into new shirts or jersey material.  I'm fairly pleased with it except I cut the back side wrong, it was supposed to wrap all the way around, and I made it as a reverse of the front. They yoga waist makes it super comfy.

What do you think? 

Peace be with you,

St. Patty's Day Skirts

If I find a Leprechaun, can I get him to clean my house?  Guess I should probably have done that myself last night but instead I decided to finish making some skits for JuneBug and Tasha to wear to school today.  If I'm going to make clothes, they should have something festive for every holiday, especially one where I have scraps of fabric specifically for the occasion! 

Besides, if I'm using up some of my stash, that will eventually help get the house cleaned up... right?

One skirt is made from strips of fabric too narrow for much else and an old t-shirt for a yoga waist.  The other I used scraps to upcycle a {stashed} denim skirt.  Little scraps and ladybug buttons make great hair clips.  O-man wanted a hair clip too but he doesn't have enough hair to hold it in, so he got to wear a green shirt.

No one pinched my kids today!
Peace be with you,
