At Wal-Mart of all places. They have a new fabric that is a ready made broomstick skirt. It has a directions sheet you get with the fabric that tells you how much to get for your waist size, and then you sew one seam and you have a brand new skirt. I just thought that was the coolest thing. Ticia |

Ticia, those are wonderful! I've made several-inexpensive, quick to serge up, no muss, no fuss. They wash up well too! Enjoy.

| They have that fabric at our local Wal Marts here. All of them have put it in the clearance bins as they have not been big sales items here. |

Isn't it weird how some things sell quickly in some places, but not at all in others. My Wal-Mart had just gotten it in this weekend, and they already had on bolt that was a good ways sold. Ticia |

Ticia I think it all depends on what area of the country you're in. Patsy Patsy

I agree, it seems to me that broomstick skirts are popular here and I've seen lots of people wearing them (I love them too). I'll have to see how it goes when I make them up, and let everyone know what I think. Ticia |

You can bring it more up to date with a few bands of ribbon around it to give it a Bohemian feel. Dorothy |

| Our WalMart had two bolts of that a few months ago and the other day I see they have about 6 or 7 in lots of different colors and fabric. Cool if you're thin enough to wear it. I'd look like a mushroom!!! |
