Neither this skirt nor this lion followed a pattern. I just tried to figure things out in my mind.
A while back a had found this sewing tutorial where you make a skirt out of a dish towel in the wonderful Grace Violet blog, and oh boy, I wanted to try it out so badly. Then yesterday, I was at the fabric store getting some basic supplies (elastic, etc) and saw this adorable dish towel. Hooray! I grabbed it right way (for less than $5 - it was on sale), so I could finally try out the skirt.
Check out how cute! And the fabric that I cut off the sides, I used to make a matching headband. I can't wait for the little one to try it out.
Cheap, easy, and cute sewing project - what else could I ask for?
Would you sew clothing out of home decor items? How do you channel your inner Maria VonTrapp?
