Lesson Plan: World's Easiest Skirt

My sewing skills are pretty much limited to making my machine go forwards and backwards with a straight stitch. If you can do that (and also handle a pair of scissors), you can make this skirt. This lesson plan comes largely thanks to Susan of freshly picked , whose incredible and much more lucid elastic-waist skirt pattern you can find here . The first several steps are hers, and are much easier to understand on her blog. Thanks also to Kendi , who told me that I could add text using Picasa and contributed to any clarity this lesson plan has. P.S.
Difficulty: * Recommended fabrics: natural or combined. You will need: crepe satin; 1 zipper; 1 button. Attention! Fabric consumption varies depending on the size of garment.

If I had a nickel for every time my mom has warned “the sun is not your friend,” I could retire tomorrow. Honestly. Instead, my closet is full of sun hats, fedoras, cowboy hats, visors, and various other sun shielding apparati. While it may not suffice as an alternative to sunscreen, kudos to Lola Ehrlich for transforming a simple straw hat into a chic stitched fedora and inspiring us to add a little pizzaz to one of our many hats! Supplies List Start by cutting the ribbon or band off the hat. http://honestlywtf.com/diy/diy-stitched-hat/
