DIY No Hem Skirt

Late, late last Saturday night, I remembered that I had my nieces birthday party the next day!  Of course, no worries, I had finished her gift weeks before…  Ok, don’t judge me when you have as many nieces and nephews as I do it is really east to get behind=)

So, I came across this tutorial on Pintrest from Make it and Love it - fast, cute, no hemming.  Yes, that would be perfect.  I knew just the fabric that would look so perfect, and because I didn’t have any cute, wide elastic I used the waist band from a pair of bright pink pants that I had thrifted for a rag rug I am making.  Okay, so I was all set for a supper fast project.

Got my sewing machine out and realized that in moving I lost the bobbin case.  Okay, ran and borrowed my moms.

Went to my serger.  Realized in moving it had come un-threaded – horrible ordeal for a serger.  Re-threaded.

Serged.  Realized girls had turned all the setting.  Rummaged through my sewing cabinet to find handbook.

My ten minute skirt ended up being quite a bit longer than that, but, when I try it again I *know* I’ll fly through it.  Took a little longer but still turned out cute=)
