My new craft project

This week I have been working on a sewing project I had been wanting to do for a long time. I made my daughter, Madilynn, a long maxi skirt with ruffles around the bottom. I have it almost finished and its going to be super cute!(pics to come)
Madi's  skirt was my "practice" skirt before I make myself one. Im making these skirts for us to wear to a mothers day tea party at her school next friday.
Unfortunately, my one week project is turning into a two week project. I ran out of thread right when I was on my last ruffle, then I went on a search for more fabric for my skirt. I got everything I needed today and plan on working on my skirt and finishing Madis skirt this weekend.  I'll post pics of the finished product as soon as I get it finished, I'm so excited! I can picture what my skirt will look like, and if I succeed, and it turns out great, then I will definitely be making more! I always get a idea of what I want to wear, but then when I go shopping I can never find what I have pictured in my head. How much easier and awesome will it be to just go out and make exactly what I have pictured in my mind! Here is a picture of the fabric I got for my skirt, I love the red! It's jersey knit and a sheer fabric. The sparkly buttons are for the belt I'm making to go with it. Eek, I can't wait to finish it!!! Stay tuned....
