Who doen't love a sparkly skirt? This circle skirt tutorial is so easy and fun thanks to the math that MADE made easy for us!

Next up I want to make one for myself, and even have the fabric purchased and ready to go :) For some reason sewing for me always hits the back burner though!

I use the string method to make my circle

Minor changes I made: I sewed in a lining, the sequins fabric was a bit see-through! So I used a matching purple cotton to line it.

I sewed right sides together, then flipped it and sewed along the edge to keep it properly lined up

I sewed the elastic so that it would be on the top of the skirt. This was the hardest part to keep lined up for me! (Next time I may try sewing it so that I sew the elastic to the inside of the skirt then flip it up.)

my spunky girl :)

Throwback Thursday

Sugar and Spice in the land of balls and Sticks is hosting a Throwback Thursday linky party, a fun chance to show "stuff" you made prior to blogging!

I don't know about you, but although I made some fun projects...the pictures are far from good {not that my current pictures are very good!}

Here is one of my favorites, a card table fort

It was SO fun to make, and a lot cheaper than I expected it to be, but time consuming! Especially for the beginner sewer that I am!

Love how the door rolls up! The mail box was a must, the kids favorite part I think!

A window with flowers :)  I think I'd look into a plastic for over the window though. Even though I made it small enough they couldn't poke their heads through, they try! And for this reason the felt on the window panes is quite stretched out...

happy creating!

Petal Tiered Skirt

The Girl Creative made this adorable Petal Tiered Skirt tutorial. I LOVE the contrasting piping and the little pop of color it gives!

Party Dress

The Cottage Home created a tutorial for this gorgeous Party Dress. Such a great dress for easter or any special occasion. I could even picture it in ivory with a colored sash for a perfect Flower Girl dress!!
