why buy when you can make!

i was looking online at long skirts and was about to pay $60 for a plain black skirt when some sense was finally knocked into me. i studied the close up image of the skirt and realised it was just two straight panels of black material, held together up the top with a black band of elastic. all up it would cost maybe $10 to make depending on the fabric purchased, so why would i pay $60 plus shipping fees for something so easily constructed?

i decided to check out burda style for their awesome patterns and found so many cute designs and sewing projects, including this one below:


how cute would this very hijabified cape look?

i think i might try my hand at some simple sewing because i could make so many cute things for myself without spending big bucks, plus i would get to choose the awesome patterns and colours .

do you ever make your own stuff?
