So I ordered from a website a threadhead mentioned, 10lb box of fabric for real cheap.
Anyway, I got A LOT of this bright green and pink floral fabric, probably about 4-5 yards of it. I thought to myself, now what can I possibly do with this?
So I made this skirt. Thinking about making some yoga-type pants with it next, it has a nice stretch to it.
On with the pictures!

I'd never wear it out of the house, not really my style, but I do kinda like it.
EDIT:: Finished my "yoga" pants. I feel like I'm going to the disco in them.
They definitely will not be seen outside my house unless I attack them with dye.

My own pattern, they fit quite nicely. :)

Website was fashionfabricsclub.com, I got the fabric in their 10lb box special.
It's just a plain circle skirt with a waistband. There's a bunch of tutorials for them in the tutorial lab, they are really quite simple as long as the math is right.

Sadly, I have no idea. Unlike the other pieces of fabric, this one didn't have a label or anything. The website does have a search box, though. You can type in key words and find what you want.

My best guess would be polyester, but I'm not sure. I'm not too good at identifying fabrics yet.
