Repurposed: Tablecloth Skirt
Last week a friend of mine, Kat, gave me a bag of tablecloths. One floral tablecloth she bought for herself, and then realized it would make a cute dress/skirt, so she gave it to me. You'll probably being seeing that one soon ...
In the bag was this harvest gold tablecloth with a lace edge. As soon as I saw it, the wheels in my brain started turning. In the end, it became a skirt. Simplicity 5505, to be exact. The skirt, which says takes two hours, took 20-25 minutes, because I didn't have to hem it. It only required a quick sew up the side seams and a casing for the elastic waistband. Easy peasy. And, had I listened to the little voice inside my head that said, "Check the tension on the serger before you start, Lera" it may have taken less time. And, had I listened to that same little voice yesterday morning that said, "Turn the crock pot on high for now and then turn it back to low," my dinner may have been done at dinner time and not bedtime.

And I can't believe that skirt used to be a tablecloth. Awesome!
i've done that with the crock pot before, too. isn't that so frustrating?
And, I feel your pain on the crockpot thing. I've learned that "Low" on mine means "OFF. So sad to have a pork roast still icy when you come home from work. Boo.
