You can always start with hemming curtains or something for a fun and easy project, learn to iron while sewing, etc. Then maybe try the super easy paper bag skirt! http://www.adventuresindressmaking.com/2010/07/super-easy-paper-bag-waist-skirt.html<br /><br />I do frequent the best Goodwill stores, but yes, I also have a trained eye! ;)Adventures in Dressmakinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00276208940528297433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5757733747822094075.post-38231546656629162952012-04-19T16:29:37.063-07:002012-04-19T16:29:37.063-07:00Your blog is inspiring me to sew!

I REALLY want to make the paper bag skirt, but I may try something less daunting to begin with. You must have an amazing goodwill store or, more likely, incredible vision for potential.sarahashley85https://www.blogger.com/profile/01897049638220102305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5757733747822094075.post-68680410650428904742011-04-23T17:47:33.015-07:002011-04-23T17:47:33.015-07:00Boy, you are amazing!!!

I have an ...So cute! I love that navy blue number.<br /><br />I have an amazon for a daughter and, at six-years-old, she outgrows her clothes from season to season. Forget saving a piece for next year! Luckily, my baby loves nice, full, dresses. Each year I take all the dresses she's grown too tall for and the ones that squeeze her little armpits, and I lop the tops off. Then, I can regather the top and add a wide elastic band to create - voila! - a new skirt! Okay, I don't elasticize all of them. Some have yoga-style, fold-over jersey waistbands and some have actual casing around the elastic. Either way, I make those suckers last at least one more season.Never A Plain Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00663921921684385606noreply@blogger.com
