When all else fails: SEW


Today has been one of those days. I spent most of it organizing my spare room, which is the office and the storage for Etsy. Of course the truth is I needed something and couldn't find it so the cleaning began!! Check out my Etsy site for craft books that I listed yesterday, need to make some room here!!! LOL I found a piece of fabric that was in with the pile to sell on Etsy and couldn't figure out why I had put it in there, I really liked it. I pulled it out to save and the more I looked at it I think it spoke to me. A skirt would be easy and fun so off I went. Just something simple w/elastic at the waist. Lots easier and cheaper than going shopping!! I am real happy with how it turned out, less than an hour and it was done. Here is a picture of the fabric. I found 2 more pieces that could make cute skirts so I guess the sewing machine and I will be together this week!!
