Hello! I have been so busy watching the Olympics that I keep forgetting to update my blog!
And I haven't had too many successful projects to post on here either. But anyway I really wanted to make one of those easy maxi skirts that have been all over the internet.
So I picked up some really cute jersey knit fabric at Joann's and got to cutting. I measured my waist and cut the fabric about twice the width of my waist. Then I measured from my waist to the floor and added 2 inches for hemming and the elastic casing.
Them I hemmed the bottom.
Then I sewed both of the length sides together and made a casing for the elastic at the top of the skirt.
Then I fed the elastic through the casing with a safety pin, sewed the ends of the elastic together, and closed the casing.
And Whola!

| When I bought it, I didn't realize that it has letters all over it but I still think its really cute :) |
So cute and easy! And probably the most comfortable skirt I own!
I hope you enjoyed my tutorial! I promise I will start taking more pictures and I started to write down the measurements I use too!
If you guys didn't know I am a nanny to 2 wonderful boys, Cole (5 years old) and Jack (1 year old). One of our favorite places to go is this place in Dallas called Monster Yogurt because it has a play place and frozen yogurt. Is there really a more perfect place for children? Well we were getting ready to leave today and I set Jacks shoes down for literally 2 seconds while I got the diaper bag ready to go. Well when I went to put them on him, one of them was absolutely no-where to be found. I looked for that shoe for 2 hours and nothing. After getting throughly angry and blaming myself, Cole, and Dude (the dog who loves shoes) we decided that Monster Yogurt was a no go today and it was lunch time. After making 2 peanut butter and nuetella sandwiches I put the knife in the sink only to find the missing shoe. Please tell me how a 1 year old can get a shoe into a sink that he can't even barely reach...I guess I will never know. The stories of being a nanny are endless.
Last week Cole and I made some Olympics crafts
