Jeans to Maxi Skirt Tutorial

I hope everyone had a Happy Easter!  I finished this project a couple of months ago and just got around to taking some pics.  They are not the greatest, but I wanted to share the finished project.  I
used Mimi G's DIY TUTORIAL: Reconstructed Jeans to Maxi to make this make this maxi jean skirt.  I went to the Salvation Army Thrift store to find the 2 pair of jeans needed for the project.  Since I didn't know how well it was going to turn out, I wasn't ready to commit to using my own jeans.  ;)  I found 3 pair of jeans that cost me a total of $6.  They were nice jeans from Aeropostale and Levi's.  This is a quick and easy project!  It literally only took me about an hour from start to finish.  I think it turned out cute and will be nice and comfy for the summer.  I will post better pics when I get to wear it.  Here are a few quick ones I took.

Crochet Along - Infinity Cowl Finished


I have finished the CAL with  One Dog Woof's.  I think it came out nice.  It was quick to make, but there a couple of spots I got a little confused.  At some point I stopped slip stitching to join the round.  lol ;)  I'm not sure what I did, but it still came out cute.  Another problem I came across was working with two strands of yarn.  They kept twisting and driving me crazy.  I used 2 skeins of Lion Brand Vanna's Choice yarn.  The color is Radiant Orange, I thought it would bring me some cheer while I wait patiently for Spring to get here.  :)  Here is the link to the Crochet Along. 

Check out my new cowl!

Crochet Along - Infinity Cowl


I am just crafting along with everybody!  ;)  I came across this Crochet Along on One Dog Woof's blog.  It looks like a cute and quick cowl that would be easy to make.  Since I am still in the recovery stage of getting my crafting mojo back, I figured these  "Along's" would keep me pressed to finish a project.  Click Here is the link to the Crochet Along.  She has the supply list and the pattern posted. 

I did get my pattern cut out and my fabric came in the mail for Mimi G's Sew Along, I'll keep you up to date on the progress. 


Here is the cowl we are going to make for the Crochet Along:
