We have a few days left in February…have you thought about the month’s recession challenge? I spent most of the month thinking before I finally decided on a project. I had about a yard of ball trim - not enough to trim the hem of another skirt, but plenty to encircle my waist, edge sleeves, or finish the ends of a scarf. When I found that the color was a perfect match for this jacket, I settled for stitching it around the waistband. I chose hand basting over using fusible web tape so that I could remove it if I tire of the little balls.
As you complete the challenge, either leave me a comment or send me an email. If you blog about your creation, send me the link. If you’re not a blogger, feel free to send a picture and/or description and I’ll include it in a final round-up. Please note that this isn’t a contest – I’d like everyone to share their results for inspiration, not competition.

Very cute outfit (and kitty!). I really like the ball trim on the jacket - very creative!
I think I like the trim on the jacket even better than the skirt! I did crafty for February, now I just need to get those pictures up...
can you trim the Forever21 skirt shorter? or maybe pair the skirt with less outfits/accessaries, since the skirt itself is quite eye catchy.
STILL my favorite all time skirt from your waredrobe.
I've started mine. It's very simple but once again I don't want to spend money if I have to as part of a personal challenge!!
Kasmira, you said we have a few weeks? Do you mean days? If there's still a few weeks then I might even finish the project I was thinking of but thought I'd run out of time for.
Okay, it's pretty dodgy, but here's my entry.
I think I'll put more effort into March!
