Every summer I do a major cleaning in my bedroom, but this year I also wanted to change some things up, and redesign my room without spending a dime. So today I collected decided to assemble a few pictures for inspiration.

Scarf Skirt
While cleaning up my closet, I came across two of the same scarves that I never wore. (I must have brought them during a two for one sale.) Anyway I discovered a tutorial for a skirt scarf, and decided to try it. I was surprised at how easy it was for such a beautiful summer skirt. However unlike the tutorial instead of cutting my scarves in half I choose to fold it in two since the material is so light.

Finished Skirt Project: New Look 6190 View C
Yesterday I finally finished sewing my first garment after a week a hard work. I used View C from the New Look 6190 pattern.
I found that the pattern was pretty easy to understand minus the three sections that explained how to apply the yoke/waistband. Therefore I turned to YouTube for some help.

All in all I am very proud of myself for sewing a wearable garment. By no means is it perfect, some parts are even a little bit sloppy. However it came out pretty good for being the first garment I have ever sewed. I also learned a lot, so hopeful next time when I decide to created something with a pattern I wouldn't have as much problems.
p.s I still have to press the skirt which is way it looks really wrinkly.
