Skirts, Shorts & other sewing....


Well I actually finished some of the skirts I cut out. The first is on me - you can tell by the crushing that I have had it on all day - super easy to make & super comfy to wear. The paisley with polkadots I originally cut out for me, but I am unsure whether it is really my colour. It may end up in the etsy or madeit shop.

The pink with Amy Butler honeycomb is the opposite - I cut this one out to sell but it may end up sneaking into my wardrobe - I really love how it turned out.


This last one has been made from a vintage linen tablecloth & some thrifted linen for the back which i have put together. It is a reversible skirt in that you can wear either side at the front/back. This is headed for the shop. Must get my act together & do some listing now. Little man has also been growing out of his shorts so I whipped up a couple more pairs for him. The guitars match his hat really well & I just love the other 2 prints. The gnomes are just too cute - I would love to get some more of this range.
Do you love this little calico skirt with red stitching? Em loves sitting on my machine & playing around with the different stitching, which is what she did here today. She then decided that her doll (thanks so much Auntie Joely twolittlefishes ) needed a skirt. I can't wait until we can sew together - I really think (and am hoping) she has the crafty bug!

How impressive is that little dolly skirt? And of course all of your 'big girl skirts'!

Such gorgeous skirts and shorts. Love the dolly skirt too. My oldest girl has just started using my sewing machine and it is the best to watch her creating.
