Mini Circle Skirt and Canvas Laundry Bag

As I am waiting for the email from my math teacher with today's assignment, I finally have a minute to sit down and write about the two projects I completed while at my mom's house last week. I had seen this tutorial on Burdastyle for a circle skirt- Circle Skirt Tutorial
and was instantly excited about it. After searching through many different fabrics, to find one wide enough (that we already had instead of going out and buying some) to accommodate my wide hips, we settled upon this pretty teal cotton blend. I did however, have to sacrifice about four inches off my desired length. Regardless, I decided to go through with the project.

We also took a large piece of canvas fabric, sewed the ends together, strengthened the inside bottom seam and fed clothesline into the top and was done. It was very simple, easy project that has been very useful.

1) Super Fierce Apron

I made this apron last week. This being my first completed project with a sewing machine, I was very excited about it. I used a simplicity pattern (will post pattern number later). I used a heavy cotton (I think) in leopard print and a standard cotton in a deep red. For a first attempt, I would say this turned out pretty dang spiffy. :)
