Simple Spider Web Skirt Tutorial
I know, I know I'm posting yet another yarn embellished skirt. (But you know how I get...once I get going on something it's hard for me to stop...but I'll try to control myself and only post one more yarnified skirt after this one.)I made this skirt the other day for Grace to wear during the spooky season. It is made from a light weight corduroy and has a simple elastic waistband.To make this skirt I cut the fabric to the necessary measurements and then "hemmed" (or finished) the bottom ...
