Hearts&Crafts

WHO: Old shorts found around house
WHAT: Made into a skirt
It started out like this-in corral....

-----FINAL PRODUCT

It was raining cats&dogs yesterday evening-living in the south means you get used to hurricane season-so I decided to do a project. It took me around 3 hours but I finally finished it. You can kind of see the white thread a) because I don't go around buying corral thread really and 2) I sewed the whole thing by hand. Yes, I do all my DIYs by hand because I don't own a sewing machine and would end up killing myself if I ever attempted to operate one. It was actually very easy; all you need is scissors, holding tape (thats what that grey thing is in the picture up there), and a needle (and thread of course, duh). Don't mind the ugly shirt I was just taking pictures to show you the skirt. Ill make a real outfit of this skirt later-ciao bellas.

  6. Man, i wish I was as crafty as you are. My idea of a DIY is chopping the legs off a pair of pants and calling it a day.
