I Sewed a Skirt

I have always been intrigued by sewing. In eighth grade I stayed at my grandparents for a month and my grandma taught me how to sew.  I didn't sew much after that trip though, about two years after that trip a sewed a  Halloween costume.  My mom isn't really into sewing and wouldn't help me pick out the right fabrics or how to work her old and complicated sewing machine.

About a month ago I decided that I am going to learn how to sew.  My Aunt, who is really good at sewing, helped me pick out a swing a machine (I am planning on doing a blog post on this later) and purchase the book "Love at First Stitch" by Tilly from the blog "Tilly and the Buttons". I also may have read her entire blog.  With a new-refurbished- sewing machine and a book to help me out I set out on sewing a skirt.

I chose a light caramel colored corduroy fabric.  The skirt is a little too big, but still fits fine.  This is a new staple piece and I can't wait to plan more outfits with it!



Sorry about the bad lighting and background, I had my roommate take this,  this morning

Also if you are staying at one of the Disneyland Resort hotels you get magic mornings which is also a great time to ride the more popular attractions. (Sorry this pic is really blurry, but this trip I had gotten to Space Mountain first and it was walk on!!) 2) Bring Snacks My favorite part about going to Disneyland is EATING. I love getting a churro or a dole whip, but when I buy a bunch of snack it starts to ...
