This is happening...

I really like I Still Love You (ISLY)'s sewing tutorials and upcycled clothes projects. Melissa makes the funnest pieces and her instructions make me think they are tutorials I might actually be able to master. Since I've been struggling finding clothes that fit my ever expanding body I think her flat gathered elastic skirt looks perfect:


Isn't it cute? Although I am sure it would look a bit different on my larger and curvier body, I think it would be great! Maybe with a nice v neck t-shirt and pulled up as more of a high waisted version? Yup! I'm sold! Now I just need to finish up the craft projects I've got on the go now and get fabric shopping! I may even try to custom dye some elastic like they did in this Make tutorial (link)! What do you think?

    I love Mel so much. I think you will rock this look...maybe that is because it is the same outfit you always wear. A ginko leaf would spice it up for sure!

    Hehe :) I love how Lindsay says it's the same outfit you always wear - because she's right! It is a flattering look, and I love the idea of custom died elastic. Maybe we can make a baby sized one in May?
