As I'm sure some of you already know... my DH loves to sew!  The other day we were at Hancocks and he got the best idea.  I thought you guys might like an easy sewing project!

 All you need is this fabric, and bias tape!

 The top is alreay gathered so you just make a seam to close off the circle, then sew bias tape for straps!  Hancocks (the physical store) has the fabrics in all colors in maxi dress length and in shirt lenght!

He is finishing up one for me and then I'll take a pic!

Excellent idea of bias tape for straps- I would need straps or to wear it over a tank top.

They have this kind of material at JoAnns too, but I don't know a price difference.

I'm thinking that squiggly edging would make great straps, too!

I made a skirt out of white eyelet fabric just like that.  IT's great hte waist stretches alot and feels great.

That is awesome. I didn't know they had the fabric already smocked. I have to check that out.

I made one of these! I love it, although the maxi length was a little awkward so I made it knee length.
