DIY Floral Top Vogue Pattern 8977

Welcome back, welcome back...welcome back!!!!!! I'm so happy to be sewing and blogging again! So, the last time I blogged was in June....a lot has happened in my life since then.  Back in May, my husband and I decided to move to Houston, TX.  We literally sold the majority of our items (minus my fabric and sewing machine :)) and prepared to  travel 17 hours from NC.

DIY Gathered Skirt with Split

Hey guys! This look was inspired by Liz at Cotton and Curls.  I figured out a way to make this skirt in a very simplified way and it turned out awesome!  It literally took me 30 minutes to make this skirt. My husband was in shock because it usually takes me hours or days to complete a DIY.

MiMi G Inspired Maxi Skirt

 It's Friday and I'm elated!!! So, I have not been able to post lately because I lost my USB cord that transfers my photos to my computer, bummer!!! My husband and I searched high and low for it, but it seems to have grown legs and walked away.  So in the mean time, I have this little USB port that I can stick my memory chip into to get all of my photos.  I have to admit, I think I might like this a whole lot better than the cord.  It's way more convenient.

DIY Simple Lace Skirt

DIY Simple Maxi Skirt with Elastic Waistband

Happy Tuesday!  Oh how I love a maxi skirt!  I made this beauty last year.  I have worn this casual and dressy.  Today I was feeling a more casual look, so I threw on a V-neck tee and some cute sandals I purchased last year from Macy's.  This skirt is so simple to put together.  It takes no time.  All it takes is sewing the sides together and adding an elastic waistband, and you're done!

DIY Linen Maxi Skirt with Pockets and Sash

I am a sucker for a cute maxi skirt.  I made this skirt when I first started sewing and it's been in my wardrobe rotation ever since.  I love this fabric.  It's a linen fabric with a little stretch that I purchased from Joann's a few years ago.  If you're looking for something that you can dress up or down and be comfortable, a maxi skirt is a definite option. 

DIY Harem Pants with Pocket and Sash

 I love my floral!!! I am at it once again with my brightly colored floral printed fabric.  I found this beauty at Joann's Fabric.  Luck for me, it was the last two yards on the bolt.  This fabric feels so amazing.  It's a rayon blend with a four-way stretch, which makes comfortable to wear.  The drape on it makes it perfect for a pair of Harem Pants. 

This DIY was so simple and easy and did not require a pattern.  You simple measure your waist and ankle, do a little math and draft on fabric, or paper if you want a pattern for later use.
