Sewing for Me–Lace Infinity Scarf

Yes, this has been blogged already, but anyways. :) I thought I would share with you something I recently made for myself.

This scarf is my new favorite. It is light, perfect for the summer, and the lacey pattern of the fabric adds a touch of feminine flair (which, as you might have noticed, I am always looking for). :) It also is versatile, and goes with almost anything!!!

The best part… I got the material for less than $1.00…. one more of the awesome deals I got when I worked at Fabricland (there is something else coming soon that I also got there on super-sale!!! Seriously, employees get bonuses, especially when a store is closing).

And… no, I don’t have a tutorial. I kinda went by the seat of my pant anyways. But someday I am going to have to create tutorials… but I am simply too lazy to do it!!!! I should really share all of this knowledge I have learned about altering any pattern or already made garment with you people. I learned from others, and I should share it with you… maybe when the crazy month of May is finished.

Sewing for Me -Mustard Yellow Infinity Skirt

So, I made something for myself... and actually took pictures of it!!!! :)

Here is the Mustard Yellow 'Infinity" Skirt {a.k.a. the 90 cent skirt}.

Uh hu, NINETY CENTS. There is a story behind that...

So there was this gorgeous material at work {I work at a fabric store at the moment}... It was 40% off, but still too much. And I didn't really need it {always the story}. It was going to be shipped out to another store, so this was my last chance... I didn't take it.

A couple of weeks ago I was going through the remnants bin. Everything in that bin is really small and 50% off the listed price. And there I found a mustard yello peice of material.... the exact material that I had be admiring at the beginning of November!!!! WHAT?!?!?!? It was too short for a modest skirt, but there was lots of width and I had an idea in my head inspired by a friend's skirt. It was also $1.80 -half of that is $0.90.

 

I was trying to sew it up on Monday morning so I could wear it on Tuesday... but things were NOT working out. I talked to some ladies from work... their advice helped immensly!!! I also had a serger from a friend sitting downstairs that a friend is letting me borrow. I hadn't used it yet, and this was the perfect time. Without it this skirt would never have been made. That thing works like a dream!!!! :)

 

My pretty serged seams!!! ;)

So, this is what came out of it. It is four peices sewn into one long peice and sewn in a spiral, hence the infinity part. I thought it was a good name. :) The waistband is double and really comfortable.
