My Recent Efforts to Hem a skirt.. and made a new scarf!

Sorry for the lack of updates in the past week, my schedule has been pretty hectic. So if you recall, I recently bought this skirt from Forever21:

As it turns out, it was WAAAAAAAAAAY too long on me. I'm 5'4". This cute skirt was for people AT LEAST 5'6" with HEELS. I believe the model wearing this was 5'10", so go figure. Of course I knew all of this before I bought the skirt, so I figured I could hem it. The skirt was just too cute to pass up.

My grandma is excellent at hemming clothes, so I had her hem the bottom of this skirt for me. She literally had to cut off 6 inches off the skirt in order for me to look like the model in the above picture with that length. So now the skirt no longer sweeps the floor as I walk around and instead, I can wear sandals and the skirt would still be at a good length. Here's a picture:

So what did I do with the remaining 6 inches of fabric? It was pretty, so I didn't want to throw it away :) So I made this:

A circle scarf! :) It was longer than I expected. I literally had to wrap it around me like 4 times. I could probably use a couple inches of that and make a matching bow hair clip with that too. Maybe later. But that's just some ideas.
