My attempt at being Crafty...

So I got a sewing machine for Christmas and haven't really done anything with it. Today I was browsing Pinterest and I pinned a few skirt patterns. I found one for a Maxi Skirt, and it is SUPER easy! So I thought I'd give it a try. Now let me tell you...I haven't really sewn anything without help since like 9th grade...and the hardest thing we did then was pajama pants...so I was a little nervous how this would work out. The whole thing took me about two hours (see really easy!) from fabric pieces to pretty much finished project.



The blue from the waist band is under the yellow. I had to do that cuz the yellow fabric was see-through. Next time I do this I'm going to tweak a few things, but for a first attempt I'd say it's pretty awesome! I just have to touch up the bottom and it's done! Pretty cute, eh?

THIS is the tutorial I used for the skirt. It has a link for the waist band. Just make sure that you sew it on the right way...unlike I did the first time. Don't worry I didn't get too far before I realized I messed it up. :)
