Some new skirts!

Went out to Joann Fabrics because they were having a one day only big sale on Saturday and I need clothes so desperately. I had a budget of $30 in cash only and I knew I wanted to at least make two skirts for Fall. So I get in there. Simplicity patterns are on sale for $1.99 each. I already have some fabric at home for one skirt already, just needed a pattern for that. I am there for two hours, but I make it out of there with 5 Simplicty patterns, and enough new material for 2 long, Fall skirts, 2 Sundresses and 1 Summer skirt. All for $30.21! I had the rest of the change in my change pocket! The fabric is so beautiful and I have found my creativity again. I am so happy for that!

I washed and dried all the material already. The first skirt I'm making is the Summer skirt. Already pressed, cut and marked. I should have that almost finished by late in the envening. I hope to post pictures when I'm finished with each. I am sewing all of these skirts along with still working on my futon coushins. I really do "need" clothes so these are taking first priority in the evening for projects.

Oh, please do post pictures. You might inspire some of us. Okay, me.

I will post pictures as soon as I can. This will keep me going as well. I would like to have them all made by the end of the month.

Wow, that's fantastic! I'm teaching myself how to sew. My next project is a wall hanging for DH's mother for Xmas. After that, I hope to make one for my mom and her boyfriend and hopefully a blanket or something for my brother and another for a friend.

Bright Blessings!
