So my first project some of you may have seen already via Instagram! The other week I woefully looked into my closet and decided I didn't have *any maternity skirts.
So I grabbed some knit from my stash and whipped some up.
These skirts are seriously so fast to make, I think I finished all three in about 2 hours. I only hemmed one of them, since knit doesn't fray!
For the pink, yellow, & grey skirt, and orange and blue skirt, I used this tutorial...
....and for the blue striped maxi, this tutorial (which I'm hoping fits afterwards since it's really cute-maybe pulled up as a dress like she shows in the tutorial?)
So there ya go. I finally remembered I know how to sew and did something about not having "any" maternity skirts.
*any meaning none I wanted to wear, of course.
See ya next week for belly or baby....it's a mystery.....
