Wondering what to sew when you want to make something at 11:30 at night? Why skirts of course! They didn't take long, but I did have to add some length to Emily's skirt in the morning, I ended up just taking a guess on the length and was a bit off. It could have passed because they mostly wear shorts or leggings under skirts, but I actually love the way the band at the bottom looks.
I went a little hog wild this week and bought a ton of cute seersucker and madras plaid. Love those two fabrics for summer clothes. Natalie's skirt is a seersucker and Emily's is madras. You'll be seeing more madras in the next week or so because I just couldn't help myself for $2.00 yard!
These skirts and Emily's top were all I could eek out this week for the Kids Clothes Week Challenge. How about you? Did you sew up kids clothes like a storm?
Here's some awesome skirt tutorials if you haven't already checked them out:
ps. having your little sister run around like a crazy kid helps when you're feeling grumpy
Very cute! I love seersucker too!
ReplyDeleteWhen I was little, my younger sister running around like crazy would have just further annoyed me if I were in a bad mood. LOL
I love the plaid skirts...and your girls are precious. :)
ReplyDeleteVery cute! I really like Madras skirts... did you find the material online or in real life? I'd like to find it too.

I read this post when I woke up this morning and it inspired me to sew four skirts for my nieces. It started with just one, but the Hickety Pickety No Hem skirt was so incredibly quick and easy that I whipped up a few more. Thanks for sharing the great tutorial!
ReplyDeleteP.S. That pollen on the ground sure reminds me of home. I've lived in Florida for 3 years but that pollen is reminiscent of this time of year back in St. Louis. :)

Very sweet! I love both fabrics- I usually make a wide band at the end of my girl's skirts too- just because I like how it looks :)
ReplyDeleteSuch sweet photos of your girls.
ReplyDeleteLovely skirts even if you were a little crazy to sew them at 11.30pm.
