this is one of the easiest projects i've done in a while. i found this beautiful tablecloth at the thrift store. of course, right? i carried it around with me and almost put it back. what was i going to do with it? my friends convinced me to buy it to turn it into a skirt for my girl. okay! that's all i needed!
i cut a hole in the center of the tablecloth, and folded the cut portion over to create a little tunnel for the elastic (real technical, i know. i'm sure there is a "fancier" name for making tunnels for elastic). i then sewed along the part of the skirt i cut, and inserted the elastic. and done! i didn't do the best sewing job, but no will ever see that part.
here it is on my all american girl! she's wearing a little boys denim shirt and her favorite shoes. she's all attitude when she wears these boots too!
i wish i was her size so i could wear this outfit!
smiles,

Absolutely adorable. Darling little cowgirl and very clever momma!
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteThat is the cutest outfit ever! Wish it was in my size, too :)
ReplyDeleteYou're really inspiring me to pull out my sewing machine- I know I could manage an easy project like that (or at least I think I could!)
Here's the deal, you can't worry about making it perfect. Let the concept of perfect go. You will have fun if you do this and then one thing will lead to another and then you'll have 50,000 ideas like I do. If you want to have a sewing class to make something easy like pillows, we could do something that. I rarely use patterns, don't pin, I just sew :)
DeleteWow, that is so cleverI I am in awe of anyone who can sew and craft things. Your little girl is adorable. What a great outfit on her!

Love!! I want to try this.....alas, I also want to wear this!!
ReplyDeleteyou're kidding me...that is the cutest thing...loving little bonzana sutton bean! i can't wait for baby stella to be big enough.
ReplyDeleteBefore I even read that she was wearing a boys shirt, I was going to ask you if Bronson could have it when she out grows it. I LOVE IT!!! Can't believe you almost out that back!
ReplyDeleteI got the denim shirt at Valley too, and it still had the original price tag on it! Bronson can have it when she outgrows it, which will be pretty soon I think, but I want it back when Bronson outgrows it!
DeleteSo cute. Just pinned this onto the crafterhours skirt tutorials board. Adorable!
ReplyDeleteThanks Susan! Appreciate it :)
DeleteSo cute Amber!!! She is darling and what a great idea! You are so creative!!
