More Skirts and a Shirt.

In the last week I have made two skirts and one shirt.

I wanted to use up some more of the skull fabric that I had leftover from the shirt that I had made so I made another folded mini-skirt (see below post for the link to the tutorial).  I bought a black thicker jersey fabric because I only wanted the front of the skirt to be the skull fabric.  I love how it came out and I love how the folds always change the fabric up a bit no matter what the pattern is to begin with.

For the second skirt, I used an old size large t-shirt that I had previously made look like a galaxy by using spray paint and splatters of paint.  I cut it below the arm pits and then traced a body con skirt that I had made before leaving about half an inch on all the sides to account for the seam allowances.  The nice thing about turning a shirt into a skirt is that you don't have to hem the bottom, it's already done for you!

I used up some scraps of a knit-jersey bow fabric to make the shirt.  The back of it is the solid black leftover from the skull skirt.  I didn't do my best work on this shirt because the bow fabric is so slippery so it ended up being shorter than I had intended and the elastic isn't really how I would like it to be, but I wouldn't call it a failure.
