The Skirt

So the skirt that I sewed?  The one I might have casually mentioned bragged about shamelessly?

Here it is:

Also pictured:  David's niece, Taylyn, her French braids, and me

Points of clarification:  David took this picture on his phone.  I asked him to take the photo, but he did not warn me that he was about to snap the picture which is why I look weird.  No seriously.  I don't normally stand around like that.  I swear.  I was just about to strike a more normal looking, very flattering, far more photogenic pose (see how my toe is up because I'm about to move?) and that would have made the front of the skirt hang normally and look as full as the rest of it, but there must have been a breeze or something.

Also, Taylyn wanted to be in the picture but did NOT want to (1) smile; (2) look at the camera; (3) stop eating goldfish crackers.  Three-year-olds are awesome like that. 

Oh, and right after David took the picture, his phone battery died, and we were loading up to go to dinner, and I was so hungry that I was stealing Taylyn's goldfish, so there were no re-takes.

Anyway, you get the idea.  I got the fabric and the black 1.5" elastic from a Jo-Ann fabric store.  The entire project was super easy and should you want to make a skirt of your own, you can find the tutorial here.
