Sparkle Running Skirts



So a little less than a year ago I had some friends who are runners tag me on facebook on a link from Pinterest. It was a DIY sparkle running skirt. I decided to give it a go! Now while the tutorial itself was great, there were a few details missing that gave my first finished skirt a not-so-professionally-made look.

Back to the drawing board on this one. After some examination and pulling from my knowledge on fabric and the way it falls and what it does once it's cut a certain way, I determined that it was such an easy fix. Two orders later and I came out with some skirts that looked great.

I honestly love making these skirts and hearing about the costumes that they are going to accent. Not being a runner myself, I can only imagine how fun these events are to dress up for.

As mentioned on my facebook page, here is your chance to win a custom made running skirt made like the ones pictured above!

    1. How awesome! I just saw an article about a woman fighting cancer who ran a marathon in a Wonderwoman t-shirt and a tutu! I think it is awesome to see all the ways runners like to dress up.

  5. Hmm...I have a hard time deciding...I love all the science-y gadgets of both Batman and Ironman, but I love the power of Superman and his super sweet Clark Kent persona....so I am going with Superman!

  6. Well since I am running the Avengers race I'm actually thinking I want to dress as Loki... I know he's the villain but he's the coolest villain.
