I waited way to long after I got home from work to take my picture. As a result, I have super bad lighting that makes everything slightly blurry and much darker than usual. Lesson learned! Make sure to take pics first thing, or start going outside. Today’s me made item is my newest skirt. Yay!
I had 2 1/2 yards of this Project Runway April Johnston knit from Jo-Ann’s. Originally I was just going to make my TNT dress with it. With a little marker making skill I was able to squeeze on this skirt, NL 6875, as well. Lucky me! The best part is that I only paid $12.50 total for the 2 1/2 yards I had. The elastic I used in the skirt I got for free and I didn’t use any other notions for the dress. I love that $12.50 got me 2 new wardrobe pieces. I did make a change to the skirt, though. The original design had pockets and a cut out on the front panel for them. Since I didn’t have a lot of fabric to play with I eliminated that pocket. Also, I really just wanted a quick and easy skirt since the pattern is so busy. I cannot wait to show you all the dress on Saturday! It will be perfect to wear to the wedding.
Tomorrow was supposed to be a sponsor day but I am going to have to move it to Friday for two reasons. First, yard work got in the way today of me being able to finish it. And second, the reason yard work got in the way is because it is supposed to rain here tomorrow and my sponsor outfit would not work in the rain. In fact, it would probably fall apart on me, leaving me almost naked and no one wants that! So, Friday wins!
