....Okay, I don't really believe that. But I was browsing around on Craftster recently and stumbled on this thread about making skirts out of neckties. I couldn't believe it---I made one of those! It was my freshman year of high school (I think that was 1989), and I saw a tie skirt in Sassy magazine (god, I wish I had saved those...I LOVED my Sassy's!). It was my first sewing project without a pattern, and I raided my father and grandfathers closets for all the ties. I was so happy with how it came out. I think I wore it to school once and got teased so much that I never wore it again (reason #156 why I'll homeschool the boys). Anyway....I dug around the attic and found it this weekend. My body's changed a bit (um yeah, just a bit!) in 15 years, but even with the 5 month pregnant belly, I still got it on (I didn't say I could breathe....but I did get it on!). Here it is:
