I have been trying to hone my sewing skills and learn to finish the inside of my garments. While at Joann's a few weeks ago I discovered a couple adorable 30"-34" remnants on sale really cheap. Not knowing what I would do with them, I snatched them up anyway because they were adorable.
Luckily, I had enough of each to make skirts. Here is the first:

The waistband is elastic, and the skirt is about knee length.
Sorry about the giant pic. I can't get it any smaller =(



Comments/criticism always appreciated!
