So THIS is how you do it.....

Brett Bara has a great blog on sewing and DIY projects.  She has a new book coming out that I definitely need if I am ever going to figure out how to make those damn throw pillow covers.  This video covers how to make a simple skirt. The skirt is adorable and I think it is actually a feasible project for a novice like me to complete.  Brett is also giving away a sewing machine and a serger.  You should check out her blog and try to win the machines!  I know I did!
