A Simple Skirt and a Headband

  Wow,Happy New Year! It has been quite busy since the holidays. I am looking forward to a new year with new creative projects and avenues to explore. Lately, I have been trying to reorganize and transition into some change. Things are finally getting back to normal and I am ready to get crafting once again. Saturday, as I was ironing Sunday clothes, I noticed that one of my daughters needed some new skirts. It's not snowing here, we only wear sweaters at night and in the morning, and so skirts are perfectly weather friendly. I decided to sew up a simple twirly skirt.

      I folded a skirt in half and placed it on the fold of the material. I cut the length I wanted and added to the width of the skirt. Then I sewed both the skirt and the lining separately and then together at the top of the skirt. I sewed a casing for the elastic and then fit it to her waist. It was fairly quick to sew up.

     Then I just had to make a cute hair accessory to go along with it. I cut some strips of fabric and made up this lovely headband. Follow along below.
