I found this navy knit at the sack sale where everything, TaMera and I bought ended up being a nickel. (We stuffed that $3 sack!)
On the tag it said there was 1 1/4 yards of fabric at 60" wide.
Well, it was off by almost 2 3/4 yards! It was closer to 5 yards!!
What a fun surprise and one I didn't keep to myself!
The skirt is super comfortable!
Also, at the sack sale I found a navy 7 inch zipper and it was exactly what the pattern called for! Another item from the stash busted!
I decided to sew Kimberly a skirt and surprise her by mailing it!
Because, I forgot to get her measurements during Christmas break...I chose a safe route with Simplicity 1201, a pull-on knit skirt.
I went with skirt A.
It looked more forgiving than the other options
The most expensive part of the skirt was the elastic, which I found on clearance for a dollar! :D
I think the skirt cost like $3.06 and that's including the pattern! (Bought on one of my 99 cent pattern sale runs)
