A-Line Skirt for Skirt Week

Have you guys heard of Skirt Week? It's going on over at Crafterhours. Go check it out !

I made this skirt a while ago and just decided to try it on myself today. I like it for the most part. Wish it was just a tad longer. I made it with a yoga style waistband which makes it that much more comfy. It's getting hot here finally so I'll be making a few more of these for myself soon.

I have to warn you before you read any further. I'm awful at getting my picture taken. I make funny faces, blink, squint, frown. I just can't get it right. So I usually hide but to enter into the Skirt Week contest you have to have the skirt pictured on you. I hate when people cut their faces out of photos but that's just what I did with this one. Trust me you don't want to see the face I was making in that one. ;)

Oh my...look at the face..like a pucker or something. haha.

These a-line skirts with the yoga waistband are the best. You can wear it as a skirt like above or you can hike it up and wear it as a top. I think it would look A LOT better if I had boobs to fill it out but that's never going to happen. Squinty eyes any one? blah

Does it look like I have a shrunken head in this next one? I've always said I do...lol. I think my head isn't proportioned to the rest of me. Geez, I'm really complaining today.

I'm done I swear.

These are super easy to make and super quick. If you'd like a short tutorial let me know and I'll whip one up real fast.

Scooter Purse Knock Off

This weeks Knock Off is this fantastic purse. I was reading one of my favorite blogs, Noodlehead, the other day and she posted about a purse she made herself and I just had to have it.

Usually when I do a Knock Off I like to change it a little to make it my own and if not I at least use different fabric or colors but with this purse I had to have the exact one...I loved it that much.

I bought the same pattern as Anna used for the purse and made it as soon as the fabric hit my mailbox.

Isn't this the cutest fabric ever?? I LOVE it. I got mine off of Etsy but couldn't find it available in this color on there anymore so I found another place online where you can order it and make your own Knock Off. A Knock Off of a Knock off if you will. (geesh, somebody stop me)

Here is Reagan with it so you can see size wise how big the bag is. It's perfect for what I need since I keep half my house in my purse. :)
