by the way, guys.. i found this site for clothing... this link goes directly to the skirts, that's all i've checked out so far. i really like the Shades of Purple skirt
I think my fear of them stems from a bad experience when someone asked me when I was due - my response was - "Oh - I am not pregnant - I am just fat" It shut them up - they prolly never asked another woman that question again

haha true story:
one of my friends just got married (not my idea haha) and before she did, there was this whole ordeal going around my (small) town that she was getting married because she was pregnant. so we were shopping one day and a girl we knew from high school came up to her and asked her when she was having her baby. my friend responded "i'm not prengnant. by the way sorry about that herp on your lip." the look on that girl's face was hilarious.

Thanks guys! T-shirt skirts are seriously SO easy to make. It's literally as simple as "you chop off the bottom half of a shirt and HEY you're done!"
Here's a bit more detail... 1. Find a big t-shirt and pull it on like a skirt using the neck as the waistband. I promise this is so much easier than you think it is. In the past I've used shirts that were mediums and those are really easy to pull on. The tie dye shirt was a small so it was a tighter fit, but they're pretty easy to stretch. Just keep pulling until you get it on. This one made an awful lot of stretching noises that sounded like it was ripping, but it survived just fine. And if you use a bigger shirt then this isn't really a problem at all. 2. Look in the mirror and try to get an idea of how long you want to cut it and maybe mark it somehow. Here's a little diagram of how to cut it:
For this one I had to do it the second way, so I end up with a notch above each thigh, sort of. Because the skirt is so full it hangs pretty loose and ruffly so I don't think it looks weird. 3. Take the shirtskirt off, grab some scissors, and cut it where you decided earlier. I usually let the cut be all uneven and messy and don't worry about making it neat at all. And then you're done! The knit material doesn't really fray or anything so you can leave it just like that.
Here's me trying to hold the skirt out so you can see how it works:
Hopefully that's clear enough, let me know if it wasn't. And now everybody needs to go find all your huge old t-shirts that you don't wear and make lots because they are awesome and comfy and then you should dance around your rooms in them because they twirl so well. Haha and then we can all wear them to roo and be super cute.

Nah, I'm sure you won't screw it up, it's really simple! And you will look adorable. And thanks, btw...although I will admit that I photoshopped my skin smoother in those pics. Haha.
I know that at some point, someone posted links to videos on how to tie dye. Could someone repost those? I know how (kinda) but its been a long time, thought it might be fun to watch some vids. Thanks!

for the t-shirt skirts, if you made them a little longer than pepper's, couldn't you turn the sleeves inside out, sew the bottom closed and thus have pockets? I love pockets

I was inspired by that thread and tie dyed a sheet set with pillowcases and it all came out good. All I did was follow that video, so you should definitely try it out! It was a lot of fun doing it, too.
One of my favorite things I tie dyed was a pair of hipster underwear. The colors are even brighter than in these photos and they look really cute/fun on. I plan on making more for myself and for a few girlfriends.

Hey Ladies!
I'm new to these parts-- I found this board whilst stumbling around trying to find more info about being a volunteer at 'roo.
I'm glad I found this thread, tho-- I just bought a dress that I am in love with that I thought would be *quite* perfect for 'roo. I've tried to show it to my husband, but... well, he's male, so I didn't get the reaction I was looking for. So, here it is, let me know if it's roo appropriate.

Yuppers : )
It's actually from last Spring's line. . . I couldn't afford it when it came out, but I've been stalking it for the past year and I actually found it on eBay for cheap(ish).
