Since Pistol plays baseball tonight, I decided I needed a cute baseball mom outfit-especially since it's warm today! I have tons of shirts I have bought that I usually wear, but today I decided to go for my own custom gear. First off, I love the look of maxi skirts. But I am only 5 foot 4 so most of the time the maxi is way too long! I had sworn off the maxi skirt/dress of any kind. Then I found this tutorial on Pinterest and thought I could totally do this! And guess what this NOVICE seamstress did?? TOTALLY ROCKED IT!!
DIY Maxi Skirt with Slit has easy directions with PICTURES!!! I made mine with a grey cotton knit. I will say that is not the easiest fabric to work with. Plus I had never worked with elastic before. So after having several disagreements with my machine, I finally got a super cute (and comfy) grey maxi skirt that is custom made to my measurements. After I got the hard part out of the way, I made my tank with cute baseball fabric and whipped up a baseball mom necklace. I like the small necklaces for baseball games because when I get hot and sunburnt (let's be honest: I am a ginger, I am going to burn), the lines aren't as noticeable. Once I got my shirt and necklace done, I added my favorite flip flops in our team color. I will try to add a picture to my Facebook of the skirt on once the hubby gets home. Swing batter swing!!!
