<span style="font-size: large;">This sewing project was so easy. I picked up this </span><span style="font-size: large;">silk blend </span><span style="font-size: large;">scarf from </span><span style="font-size: large;">Unique,</span></div>

Lately, I am so in love with the color navy blue. I've been searching for the perfect navy blue bag to no avail. I almost bought a pair of navy blue loafers from Zara for $29.99, but they were a shiny patent leather. What I did find is this stretchy polyester floral fabric from Unique for $3.99. Initially, I was thinking wrap dress, but I'm not there yet. So I decided to make a body hugging skirt.</div>

<span style="font-size: x-large;">Kimonos are so versatile. They can be worn during every season. Kimonos dress up the plainest of outfits. They're also </span><span style="font-size: x-large;">a great transitional accessory.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Spring: Throw on one when the air is still a little crisp. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Summer: On hot days, slip on a sheer kimono.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Autumn: Start adding layers with a textured </span><span style="font-size: x-large;">kimono. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Winter: Throw on a knit kimono to stay cozy.</span></div>

I lucked up on this sheer fabric at Unique and knew it would make a great kimono.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This has to be the easiest sewing project ever. I held it up to me </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
to see how long I want it to fall and laid it out and cut.</div>

Next, while still folded in half, I measured down 22 1/2 inches and pinned it for the arm holes.</div>

Then, simply cut straight down the middle of one side. (Make sure you don't cut both sides.)</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Before sewing the front opening, I used tape instead of pins.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Epic Fail: The tape was so hard to get off and made the sheer unravel.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(I fixed it with a zigzag stitch)</div>

I used a zigzag stitch to sew the seams under the arm holes.</div>

This sewing project is so easy!!! First I laid out the fabric and folded it in half. </div>

I folded a pair of pants, that fit me loosely, and traced/cut a little wider for a baggy fit.</div>

<span style="font-size: x-large;">During my many visits to Unique, I picked up some black satin fabric,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> </span><span style="font-size: x-large;">and knew immediately, </span><span style="font-size: x-large;">I wanted to make a skirt. </span><span style="font-size: x-large;"> I wanted </span><span style="font-size: x-large;">something fancy though, </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">so I thought why not pleats? Wait, I don't know how to make pleats.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">You Tube here I come.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Shout out to <span style="color: blue;"><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vH7UMs1lGK0" target="_blank">MadebySimstatic</a> </span>for the tutorial on making pleats: </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Place a pin four inches to the right, another pin 2 inches and a third pin another 2 inches.</div>

Fold the third pin back behind to the first pin and pin that together. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After the fold, repeat the steps, p<span style="text-align: center;">lace a pin 2 inches to the right and </span>another</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
pin 2 inches, but this time, fold the 2nd pin to the front and pin that together. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Denim is a trend that has and will always be around. So when I spotted this denim fabric at Unique, I scooped it up so fast. Denim fabric usually sells for $9.99 or more a yard, but I got about 2 1/2 yards for only $5.99. My first thought was to make denim culottes, </span><span style="font-size: large;">but I wanted </span><span style="font-size: large;">to make something that I could wear often. </span><span style="font-size: large;">I decided </span><span style="font-size: large;">to make a coat.</span></div>

Well, if you don't have anything to wear, you can always sew something. Yesterday, I said to myself, "I need a blue skirt". So instead of going shopping, I foraged through my fabric bin and proceeded to make the following. Which by the way, took less than 2 hours to make.</span><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
I wanted to make a skater skirt with no seam, but when I repeated the skater skirt</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
process, and folded it twice, there wasn't enough fabric width wise. So, I only folded </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
the material in half this time. To make the waistline, I measured down 10 1/2 inches</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and then 20 inches from that mark to make the hemline. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjc2M6IYMTAzb04vIojuEIqpXJKUq_JY0MokAFkUZI71Rr67b-9laS6RHbko-8mDOZ9ZG5FC7zfIxoq4CEHSYpnu97Kmd69GFTcNQBqOmv-HP3V30iNNPK6E-bn79UoPF1Ti24si7KOnzul/s1600/IMG_7709.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjc2M6IYMTAzb04vIojuEIqpXJKUq_JY0MokAFkUZI71Rr67b-9laS6RHbko-8mDOZ9ZG5FC7zfIxoq4CEHSYpnu97Kmd69GFTcNQBqOmv-HP3V30iNNPK6E-bn79UoPF1Ti24si7KOnzul/s640/IMG_7709.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Cut the hem and waistline.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
As it turned out, the waistline was too big. Why? Because I forgot </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
this fabric had a stretch to it. So, I pinned the two sides together,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
measured about an inch and cut off the excess. Sewed the seams together.</div>

Pearls Pearls Pearls all over the world. Isn't this fabric divine? I picked it up at Unique for $2.99.<br />
What would you make with a delicate fabric such as this? How about pillow shams?<br />
<br />

This has to be the easiest project ever. Place pillow on fabric and cut around pillow.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Since the pillow should fit snug in the sham, seam allowance isn't necessary.</div>

Don't you know after all that work, the waistband was too big.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So what did I do? Cut the zipper out and just sewed the two seams together.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Since, the material has a little stretch, I just wiggled my way into it.</div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Whenever I go to Unique, my first stop is the fabric section. Material can be expensive, so I stock up every time I go. My first inclination is to look for fabric with prints, but on this day, this cappuccino colored fabric caught my eye. I knew it would make the perfect versatile skirt for the Spring/Summer season. It was only $3.99 and it was 25% off Thursday, so it only cost $3.00.</span></div>

The process is always the same. I used my chalk and twine as a protractor </div>

to mark the hem line. Cut the waist line and hem line.</div>

Let your mind wander and walk with me. Weatherman predicts 6 inches of snow. When you wake up and look out your window, it's still snowing and everything is white. No school. No work. House is cozy and warm. Footie pajamas, check; cozy blankie, check; cable knit pillow, check; while watching a "Sex in the City" marathon sipping hot cocoa. Can't get any better, right?<br />

Did you ever hear the phrase "Shop your Closet"? I know you have an old favorite sweater that doesn't fit anymore, but you can't bare to get rid of. Well, that's what happened in my case. I got this sweater at the Goodwill in Charlotte, NC, and at the time I was a little smaller and I loved this sweater. With hopes of getting back into it down the drain, I decided to make it into a pillow.<br />
If you don't have any, now is a good time to buy sweaters at thrift shops. They need to make room for Spring/Summer clothes, so sweaters are significantly priced lower.<br />

Although I've never made any clothes for someone other than myself, I said yes, of course.<br />
<br />
To make the dress, I did the same process as making a skater skirt, however, I'm going to attached the top to the waistband on the skirt. Since this was a stretchy fabric, a zipper wasn't needed.<br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Recently I read an article about how to look like money. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1. Look neat and clean. Messy never equals money.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
2. Look ladylike, wear a pearl necklace or a simple stud earring.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
3. Wear a nice perfume. Your scent will linger as you walk by.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
4. Wear a statement necklace. It'll take jeans and a T-shirt to the next level.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
5. Never wear fake fur. You're not fooling anyone.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
6. Wear a monochrome color. All black, all grey and especially all white/cream.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Guess which one stood out to me? Number 6! Which prompted me to make this skirt.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The skater skirt process is always the same. Mark your hem line, cut out the waist line and cut a separate piece of fabric for the waistband. Not shown, but I added a lining, it was too see through.</span></div>

Okay, it looks like skater skirts are my specialty. They are so easy to make. Another good thing about skater skirts is, if you are lacking in the "booty" area, these skirt make you look like <br />
"Baby Got Back!!"<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Once again I folded the fabric two times with the folds on the left and top. Used my twine and chalk to make the rounded edge. </div>

I had about 6 yards of green plaid fabric that looks like material for bed sheets. I used this material to practice on. And before ruining good fabric, I made a practice skater skirt with it. The waistline was too small, so I cut this fabric using the cut piece as a guide, but cut it a little wider. If you're guessing and not using a real pattern, <strong>ALWAYS</strong>, I repeat, <strong>ALWAYS</strong>, cut small, try it on and then cut again if it doesn't fit. </div>

I, however, like to refer to my vests as waistcoats when I'm feeling especially British, because I love to speak the Queen's English whenever possible.<br />
<br />
I spotted this black fabric at Unique for $3.99 and when I got it home, the moment I draped it over my mannequin, Siobhan, (that's her name), I envisioned a coat of some sort. Notice how it folds over mimicking a collar and lapels.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I used a vest, oops, I mean a waistcoat, that I already had as my pattern and just extended it to fall past my knees. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I would suggest that whenever you sew, use clothes that already fit as your patterns.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Just turn the piece of clothing inside out and lay it on your fabric, but make sure you cut an extra inch wider for the seam. This is called seam allowance. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Before I sewed the side seams, I sewed the shoulders together. But, when I did that I noticed it was too small and didn't close in the front.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
So I added about a 3 inch width of fabric to each side. Remember this tip, it will come in handy for future projects. I've also learned that mistakes make for innovative designs. I hemmed the bottom and sewed the armholes.<br />

I wanted to make a skater skirt, so I followed the instructions of <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JH1RAXJin0I" target="_blank">smarmyclothes.</a> I picked up this houndstooth fabric from Unique for $3.99 for 2 yards.<br />
<br />
I skipped a couple of her steps, but I did fold the material twice with the folded edges at the top and on the left.<br />

I took a piece of twine and chalk and used it like a protractor to make my rounded hem.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I held the fabric up to my waist to see how long it fell and then cut on a curve for the waistline. I will save that cut piece as a guide for future skirts.</div>

This is what the skirt looks like when you open it. There are no seams. It is one continuous circle.</div>

I decided to make a matching shirt. Doesn't it look like dress? I could attach the top to the bottom, but I want to have the option of wearing the skirt with something else.<br />

I am a mother of two, home chef, thrifter, sports enthusiast, designer and seamstress.<br />
<br />
My previous blog was <a href="http://www.theydonemessedupnow.blogspot.com/">www.theydonemessedupnow.blogspot.com</a>. That blog showcased my thrifting, jewelry making, deconstructing and reconstructing clothes. It lead me to discovering my new craft/talent, which is sewing.<br />
<br />
My blog/future clothing line are named after my maternal grandfather, Edward Caleb Morris, who was an incredibly talented tailor. My "Flop Flop" is no longer with us, so this is dedicated to him. Enjoy...Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13901633178884987571noreply@blogger.com0
