Just finished this set of skirts in perfect spring colors: light green, blue, pink and purple with cute birdie and simple flower appliques.
Okay, if you are still with me after my ramblings, then here comes a little GIVEAWAY!!!!! Yeah! See, sometimes it pays off to read through a full post ;-)
I have enough of the thrifted "something" left, to make a skirt for one of my lovely blog readers! Are you excited?!
As you may have noticed I have not told you yet, what I re-purposed in order to make these skirts. So, in order to qualify to win , leave a comment and tell me what you think it is I used. If there is more than one of you with the correct answer I will pick a random winner among those with the correct answer. Everybody only gets ONE guess, though. Sounds fair?!
Okay, one more thing for you to read through: Just so you know, based on what I have available I can make a skirt in these three sizes:
a) 11 inches long (won't have blue gingham waistband, but the light green of the main fabric)
b) 12.5 inches long (blue gingham will only be on the inside of the waistband, outside will show the light green)
c) 13.5 inches long (as seen in the pictures)
I would estimate that the 13.5 inch long skirts are a 4T.
Now, go on and take your guess! I will leave this giveaway open until next Sunday (1/24/10).

I think you used...aaaa...curtains to make the skirts???
The skirts are too cute and I love how you sneaked in a little giveaway. I think they were made out of a fabric tablecloth.
I'll guess a shower curtain, just for fun! They are really adorable!
those are super cute. I love repurposed clothes! my guess is curtains.
I think it looks like they were a valance. Very cute! I love your thriftyness :)
The others and I are thinking along the same lines...I'd say it was a tablecloth. Good work - they look adorable!
Could they have been pillowcases? Really cute whatever they were.
I think it looks like a curtain. Very cute though whatever it is!!
Adorable...I'm going to say a bed skirt was used (the dust ruffle) or whatever they are called?? (but I'm international so not sure it counts?!)
These are so cute! I'm gonna guess a comforter. The fabric is surpisingly close to what is on my bed at the moment.
I'm barely squeaking in for this one....but all of the other answers seem right....hmmmmm, placemats?? THAT would be something to see!! HA!! Anyway...they are soooo cute!! And you could always add ruffles to the bottoms of the shirts and sleeves to "extend" their life!!
cute!! I think you used curtains! -chrissy
