DIY Central: 2 skirts and a scarf

| 22 Comments


Hemming is easy, especially when you have a good movie or show to watch! This morning, as I was watching 2 Broke Girls, a new series on CBS, I was working on the red skirt I thrifted last week!

The skirt is a treasure indeed, very versatile, can be dressed up or down. This is what it originally looked like:

Then out came the scissors:

Then I hemmed this baby – all by hand, it took me about an hour and a half. Bonus: I ended up with a pretty good amount of red fabric, which I am dying to use in an upcoming project!

Paired up with my black heels and a vintage white top, it’s a real high waisted red gem in my clothing collection:

Continuing the subject of hemming – I have finally finished working on one of my summer skirts! I wore it to my rehearsal dinner back in August, but later decided that if I wanted to get more wears out of that skirt I needed to hem it. So here it is!

And last, but not least, probably my biggest DIY project here yet – I finally finished my infinity scarf! Remember when I did a post on scarves a while back? Here is my own personal creation!

Double looped for a loose fit

Triple looped for extra warmth:

For those of us who forget to wear hats

Happy Monday everyone, it’s a new week and a fresh start!
