Hey everyone!
DRUM ROLL PLEASE..........................Here is the pics of my homemade skirt! ( I don't know why there is a white spot at the top. It must be the pic)(No before pic. Sorry)

This was actually a dress with spaghetti straps so what we did was we took those off and took the part that was the chest area and folded that down and made a waist band with it. This was connected to the straps.
Here is the waist band:

Then I sewed the buttons together and made like a box around them, so that they won't come undone. I went all the way to the bottom of the skirt.
Here is the buttons:

I bought this flower and ribbon, but the flower broke off of the clip on the ribbon. So I just doubled up the ribbon and sewed that on there. And as you can see I made a litte thingiemabob behind where I put the flower with the ribbon. Then I had to hand sew the flower on to it.
Here is the ribboned flower:

The last thing I am going to do is I will be putting a zipper on it. I didn't sew the first 2 buttons so that I could take them off and put the zipper there. I have to go to Wal Mart to get it. So I don't have pics of the zipper.
The only problem we are experiencing with making this to a skirt is that is was a dress before, so the part that was where my middle section was is now where my thighs are. It is really tight there because of that reason. So either I am going to have to lose my thighs or we are going to have to add some material there. I am leaning more towards the losing my thighs idear. (as the English would say).
So there you be. My skirt. Myrtle has a blue and purple on just like this that she is working on.
We have at least 2 or 3 more that we are going to be making. And I am also making a SUPERMAN bag. At Wal Mart they had a lot of SUPERMAN stuff, party supplies, SHIRTS, and some fabric. It was really expense, but I had to have it. It was $3.97 a yard, I think. There was 2 different fabrics, so I got both and will be making myself a really awesome bag shortly. And yes, I will be posting pics to all you fav blogger friends of mine.
If you have any questions about this that I didn't cover just comment and I will try to explain it to you!
It is so CUTESIE!
