Another Love Skirt (along with the how to)

 

Every year I make Grace a “love skirt” to wear for Valentines Day.  Sometimes I post them…like HERE (The All You Need is Love Skirt) ,  HERE  (The Love Me Two Times Skirt) and HERE (The Love is In the Air Skirt) but sometimes I don’t.

However, this is one of the post it years!  For two reasons:  #1.  Because I really like this one and #2.  Because it’s so easy to make.  Let me show you how!

To make the skirt itself I used a t-shirt of mine that I never wear and THIS tutorial to make a skirt from a T-shirt.

After the skirt was made I added the “love” in three easy steps.

Step #1:

I wrote the word love in cursive writing with fabric glue.

Step #2:

I pressed wide yarn down over the top of my glue written word.

Step #3:

After allowing the glue to dry over night I top stitched down the center of the yarn.

And that’s it!

 

Now….if you’ve followed us for awhile you know that I love embellishing skirts with yarn (like the Hostess Cupcake Skirt and the Get in Line Skirt) and every time I post about them I have questions asking how these kinds of skirts wash….and the answer is just fine.  But I should say with these skirts I do wash them as usual and then lay them flat to dry instead of throwing them in the dryer.

Alright!  So that is that a t-shirt, some glue, and yarn…easy enough!

Have a wonderful Valentine’s weekend.
