eek. before. and its saying something when it looks good like THIS. in real life, this thing is..um...strange.

so i began chopping off about 2 inches of length.

but the raw edges just won't do, so hemming it is.

and then hemmed. which color of thread did i use??? A, B, or C?

ANSWER: C

ooh, and did i mention that i love this polyester blend fabric? 

anywho, this is the NEW hemmed skirt, and it looked well, boring so i decided to do something to 'spice it up'

SO embroidery it is! I went with something cute, which you will find out soon.

hmm...what COULD it be?

AN UMBRELLA!!!! YAY! Prefect for today, which was rainy and made my hair all frizzy and fuzzy..gross, well i'm getting off track, so back to the main event, the AFTER PHOTO!!

Yay for short(er) skirt!! and although i wasnt pleased how the umbrella wasnt very visible, i was pleased with the outcome, and it looks even better tucked in, but my black shirt was visible through the light poly-blend fabri...ok, now i'm way off topic. :)

BONUS: 

Other Things I've recently made!!

this cute peacock-inspired hairclip, which i will show you how to use in a latter update.

and leg warmers made from a sweater!! I love these, now i can't wait till the seaon to wear them. I need ya'lls help, when would be the proper time to start wearing these bad boys?? and  with what??

Thoughts, Please, Please.

and a p.s to all of you white collar fans: how disappointed were you in this seasons finale? ;(

All The Things I've Made.

So all bodies, its been awhile since i've blogged to you, and i'm not sure whether or not you care, but i thought i'd update for the sake of amusing myself.

I've been a busy bee with school starting, and my amazing, creative sister in law stocking me up on some fixer-upper projects (i'm talking clothes, not homes..just clarifying) soooo i have been oh so inspired by this amazing blog, which i believe you should check out!! www.vanessachristensen.com

sooo onward to my sewing and such.

I have quite the variety, and this is where everything happens:

yeah, this is just the basics. :)

and here's the load of fabric i got from sis-in-law.

So, You've seen where i do the fun fun fun, now to actually see the fun fun fun!!

BAM! Isn't this just shocking? I think these are..ineresting, but the i am in LOOVE with the fabric!!

100% LINEN!!! my new favorite fabric.

yeah, i think i've scared you enough, so here begins the fixing of these bad boys!

I loved the pockets and pleats at the top to much to change so i had to keep them "just the way they look, toniigghhht!" 

yes yes yes, they had POCKETS! I love pockets, and these were deep enough to swim in! 

um a skirt? you ask, 'yes' i answer.

um, yes please.

uh, uh, uh, that's all folks!

thoughts, please.
