Another Sound of Music Skirt

While my husband and I were vacationing I went to a thrift store and saw the cutest sheet ever.  Sheets make great skirts!  I call them my Sound of Music skirts; even though Maria used drapes and I'm using sheets, the concept is the same: reuse.  And the great thing about sheets is that they are generally very flowy even though they are cotton.  And you get a ton of "fabric" in just one twin sheet.  The only problem with using sheets is that they are so wide that I always have to cut out my pattern on the floor which is never as fun as using a cutting table.  

So I got my sheet for $2.00 and got to work.  Actually, parts of the sheet were pretty ratty so I tried to make those sections invisible, ie. part of the lining.  Here it is, looking pretty snazzy.  I just loved the hearts and the swirlies and stripes.  I got a few compliments when I wore it.
