________________________________________________________________


Got down to business today.  Finished off the cutest of skirts.  I love them.

Piles of no-fray chiffon and a soft grey cotton fabric to make the magic happen.

All the little details.  Cutting, folding, ironing, making sure I don't sew my SAFTEY PIN INTO THE SKIRT.  Good lord, don't ask.  I have to be one of the most air-headed black-haired people, ever. 

I had my little Rambo side-kick.  She kept snatching my phone, pushing all of my straight pins down into the pin cushion and running off with my scissors.  You haven't sewn until you've sewn with a two year old biting at your ankles.

About an hour in, this is what starts to take shape.

Then, before you know it, voila!  This skirt gets cuter and cuter every time I make it.

So much fun!

POOF!  Magic, I tell ya...

Jersey Frills

It's been too long.  So much is happening, but that doesn't mean I haven't been busy.  There are a lot of blogs that inspire me.  I could, unfortunately, spend hours on the computer filtering through other people's creativity wishing that it had been me who thought of their genius manifested.  *sigh*  But alas...
So I've resorted to looking and learning and then putting together different colors and patterns that might be a stretch for me.  Sometimes, it's hard to visualize different textures, patterns or colors together.  With this skirt, I took the leap.

My little girl rocked this skirt.  I love it.  And I WILL be making more...
