I got two yards of the blue fabric. Gazed at it for a few days. Washed it. Let it sit on the quilt rack by my bed for about a week, lol. THEN, I straightened the selvages and sewed up the side. Cut the length I wanted my skirt to be. Then I got to start my favorite part!!! Shirring!
This is my first line started. Please ignore the cruddy iPhone picture. I REALLY need to stop using it but it’s always closer than my camera.

After a couple more lines, I was feeling euphoric and Instagrammed this baby! =)

This is the next Monday when I snapped a pic before work at about 6:30 in the morning. I love it but I’m actually thinking about cleaning up that bottom edge a bit. I know it won’t fray but I think it looks a bit messy.

Paired it with nearly my ONLY white shirt, lol. Oh, and my $3.99 clearance necklace!

Then, the Little Diva wakes up and we watch Team Umi Zoomi before we head to the babysitter’s and work =) Note that she just discovered said clearance necklace and will not let it go, lol. She kept saying “puwty, mommy. Fower? Puwty” (translates to “Pretty, mommy. Flower? Pretty”).
