Burst Skirt

It's official, I made my very first clothing item from scratch!

This ladies, is my Burst Skirt.

I simply followed this tutorial written by Caroline who was guest posting on Kim's blog, Yellow Songbird. It was super easy to complete, involved only straight line cutting & sewing and took simple supplies I already had.

I struggled a little bit to get the elastic through the top of my skirt but once I figured it out I was good to go. Now that I've made one, I want to get more fabric for more skirts! It was so fun and only took me about 45 minutes. I have a handful of bright colored tanks that would look wonderful paired with some coordinating fabrics for spring time.

I ended up wearing it for the rest of the day while I ran my errands just because I was proud of it. Even though it didn't make my sore throat or headache go away, this skirt definitely improved my day.

(Please don't mind my messy hair, no make-up and overall sickly appearance. I've been sick all week)

Happy Friday Everyone!
