DIY: simple beach skirt.

Image
                   Summer's warm weather is fast approaching, so it is time to start shopping for lighter clothing.   If you know how to stitch a straight line, you can also try making this cool and colourful beach skirt.  It will be a convenient item that you can tie over your swimsuit. Here are the items that you will need:             Sewing machine 2 - 3 yards of lightweight fabric  (I used fabric that is generally used for curtains and tablecloths in my country) thread pins tailor's chalk 1 inch width ribbon (optional) pair of scissors measuring tape pencil and paper to mark measurements I used a mannequin (this is also optional) So let's begin. - Measure your waist and divide this number by two.  - Measure from your belly button to your knee.  This will be the length of the front of your beach skirt.  -Measure from your waist in the back to your ankle.  This will be the length of the back of your beach skirt. -Add half inch for seam

                                            It's funny how a leisurely stroll at the mall could suddenly turn into a mini shopping expedition.   That is exactly what happened to me when I visited my favourite shopping mall this week - my curious gaze was thrown onto a few 'treasures' that I couldn't bear to leave behind.   I excitedly bought two Jordana baked eye shadows:  Green Mist and Purple Perfection.  I got the green one because I would like to do a St. Patrick's Day makeup tutorial in the near future.                                    The two eye shadows are pictured below.                      And here is the St. Patrick's day makeup tutorial, in case you missed it: NYX has become one of my brands for eye makeup because of the vibrant colours that seem to give out a clubby-glam vibe.  My selection consisted of Indigo Child and Aurora.  These two shades would be wonderful to use in some smoky eye makeup tutorials.
