Fashionista Part 2

As many of you may recall, I am a self-proclaimed fashionista.
Part of being a fashionista is being a natural in front of the camera.
It was about a year ago that I bought 5 yards of fabric for new curtains in our kitchen. Then I ended up not using the fabric in the kitchen. And it collected dust for a year. Until I thought, "Hey. Why don't I whip myself up a long skirt with all this cute, unused fabric I have lying around?" And so I did.
I introduce you to my amazon-woman-past-the-knee-toddler-friendly-perfectly-long-enough skirt with a crooked hemline. Don't worry. I fixed that up after wearing it to church.
Did you notice the ties there in the front? I was pretty impressed those turned out seamlessly.
"Oh. You like my skirt? Why thank you. I made it myself. I'm sure the uneven hem didn't give it away. What's that? You think I should try out for Project Runway? Okay."
This one's easily the best picture from the photo shoot.
After making one skirt without too much sweat off my back, I noticed more skirt-sized scraps of fabric in my stash. Another skirt was born. Which naturally required a series of late-night mirrored selfies.
This one. Has a zipper. A ZIPPER! I've outdone myself.
I have an addiction folks. No. Not the modeling. I'm not addicted to the modeling. But I am a fan of picking through fabric scraps to create skirts that are FINALLY comfortably, cutely long enough.

I love them! I've been dying to make some skirts myself but have just been too lazy. Maybe this will inspire me to do it!
