from Sheet to Maxi Skirt

as you read this, i am probably sewing away with the precious women of 3Cords, while sporting these new maxi skirts that i sewed before i left.  so i thought i'd schedule this post for you while i'm away, because i think some of you may want to add this to your summer wardrobe too! 
i found this tutorial here, and pinned it a few months ago, labeling it "my next project."  i was instantly in love! so when i found a grey jersey sheet at Good Will a few weeks ago for $2.99,  i knew it was time to whip out the ol' Brother sewing machine!i pretty much followed her directions, except i made my ruffles a little wider than her's, and they weren't quite double the length, so they don't ruffle quite as much.  i also made the waistband smaller, because i wanted to make sure it was snug so that it wouldn't slip down.  it is the most comfortable skirt, and my friends are gonna get sick of seeing me wearing it, cause i pretty much want to wear it everyday.
 so i figured...one wasn't enough...

 so i made another when i found this pink jersey knit on sale at Hobby Lobby. i changed this one up a bit, lengthening the ruffle for more "scrunch" and sewed the ruffle to the outside of the skirt this time around.  i felt like that defined the ruffles a bit more.  when i make another (cause i plan to!) i'll do it this way again.

seriously...they are so comfy!!  so head on out to your local thrift shop and pick up a jersey sheet!  from sheet to skirt for only $2.99...can't pass that up!!
