Chevron to the Max

Chevron is in. Not the gas station, but the pattern.  It seems to be everywhere. From shirts to skirts to blog backgrounds (teehee.... mine is)  I kept seeing the cute chevron maxi skirts.  My mom kept looking for one for me, but couldn't every find the particular one I wanted.  Yes, I was a little picky. So a thought occurred to me.... yes another thought. "What if I just make one?" I knew exactly what I wanted so I thought that I might be better to just make one instead of searching and never finding exactly what I wanted.  One day I found some cute fabric from Hobby Lobby online and bought it. So excited for it to come in the mail.  It showed up and I was excited! One downside.... It wasn't the stretchy maxi fabric I was hoping. But it was still cute.  So I improvised and make a knee length skirt for church.  I made it without a pattern.  I am not always the most patient when it comes to sewing, I just want things done.  The skirt turned out great!  I was so excited I wore it to work the next day and then church today.   I'm quite please with how it came out. And it only took an hour! Woo-hoo for homemade skirts!  Look back this week for the tutorial on how to make your own.  It's super easy!

Happy Sewing!
