This was actually scrap fabric too, which I purchased for around $2, it was rolled into a little black ball of organic cottony goodness. I won't claim the design as my own, the reason this skirt is especially adorable (besides that my wrinkly bug bite covered knees are accenting the piece) is because I used the coolest book ever to get the idea! Generation T 108 Ways To Transform a T-shirt is the freaking greatest book for beginning and advanced crafters- the projects are totally easy and some of them blew my mind. The finale' project is a wedding dress made entirely of white t-shirts! The book came out a while back, long enough that I am certain every crafty New Yorker has seen it - but I had never laid eyes on such innovation. Love it! This sexy skirt is my very first project I tried from the book, and although it said to make one straight tube I had to actually make a bit of a triangle shape to get it right. The satin ribbons are even organic! Yippee! <3

Learning To Sew: Local Organic Cotton Part 2
This is my second project using locally woven organic cotton I bought from Spiritex, an Asheville organic clothing & fabric store.
