The fabric for this skirt was originally 10 dollars a yard, clearanced to 5 dollars, then clearance went 50% off, then an addition 10% off total purchase, so the fabric cost me $2.25. Then I got some lining for 1 dollar, so realy 90 cents. The zipper was the spendy item- somewhere arounf 3- but with a 50% coupon a dollar something. Pretty cool. I made up the flouncy part- the pattern for it I mean, obviously I didn't make up the idea! I already had the pattern for the skirt, but I wanted to do something a little more fun than plain Jane, - I love this skirt. And it's funny because teh fabric was one of those kinds where at first glance you think, "euw that's ugly," but then you give it a second look in that stack of fabrics and invision the future of a cute skirt, and suddenly- you find a treaure in a pile of ugly fabrics. And the skirt totally matches my glasses! Pink and black.

SOOOOO fabulous. That looks like it would be $80. I like how you put the outfit together too....you have a great eye!
You are way too darn creative. I wish now that maybe I paid a little more attention to my mom when she tried so hard to teach us to sew. It is just something that I can't get into and enjoy. You did a great job and the fabric makes a fantastic skirt.
Amy I love it!!! You are sooo talented. You look beautiful in those pictures!
SUPER CUTE! I love it! It makes me so excited to make my skirts that I have the fabric for...................I love you! You need to let me know how you liked the fettuccine!
You look really pretty in those pics. I can't believe you made up the bottom! Wow!!! Looks great!
