...and one more

So I just got a shipment of jersey fabric from fabric.com and I have been trying to think of ways to use it all. Why not take the easy way out and make another circle skirt? I'm not too crazy about the print, but hey it was under 2 dollars a yard.

Fun circular-ness



stupid camera timer/ action shot



Nothing spectacular, I know, But I had fun making it. I've been suffering from major craft ADD as of lately and I keep bouncing around from one thing to another. I'm hoping to finish a few of these things up while off from work, but I also need to do some hardcore cleaning out of the apartment to prepare of the upcoming move. Well, I'll leave you now so I can wage an internal war with my priorities, ah to craft or not to craft?

Going 'round in circles


I've been wanting to make a circle skirt for sometime now, so I figured why not give it a go today. After quickly browsing the circle skirt tutorial on whatthecraft I set to work. I had the striped jersey laying around (purchased at the local fabric store) and used the sleeves from one of the donated t-shirts I have laying around to make the waistband. I added elastic to the waist and presto, I have this wonderful floaty fun circle skirt.

... And because no post of a circle skirt is complete without a super-twirling action shot... (did I mention how dizzy I got during this shoot?)

I love the way the stripes fall on this skirt, I've been walking around the apartment all day and watching how it swishes back and forth. All thats left to do is hem it I suppose, back to work!
