Skirts

Don't you just love those projects that you work on when you have other things that you really should be doing, but you really don't want to do them?
Well, we won't talk about all the things that I should have been doing, because I really have had fun being sidetracked lately.
I have been searching for a cute Easter dress pattern for Anna. Yes, it is only February, but I like to have time to save up my 40% off coupons to JoAnns so I have to think ahead. I finally started looking on Etsy for cute dresses and boy oh boy have I found some! I found a several that I really like. Last week I made this fun spring skirt for Anna.
Doesn't it look great with her purple shirt? NOT!
It was such an easy fun skirt to make. I was glad that Anna's friend Phebe was having a birthday party so I had a good excuse to make another one. Here is Phebe's skirt.
Who would have thought that I'd have so much fun making skirts for little girls??? This weeks sidetrack project is to make a shirt to go with the cute skirts.

YOu did a really good job!! Now, you need to start looking at apron patterns. That seems to be the new thing out here, having your girls where very stylish aprons, so when they cook with mom-they look adorable. Since I do not own a sewing machine, I am thinking of having my mom make my girls some stylish aprons.
