I made her a skirt...

During K's last real crib nap on Saturday (yeah, the big girl bed and big girl naps do NOT go hand-in-hand so far...) I mustered up the courage to use my sewing machine again.

MONTHS ago I pinned an easy skirt idea and bought the supplies and everything. But I had a few problems with my brand new machine can you say user error? and was a little hesitant to try again.

But thankfully the stars and seams aligned (!) and I channeled just a bit of the sewing abilities of her and her (I do admire them so!) and I was able to make a skirt for K in just a couple of hours (with interruptions from a couple of certain boys wanting snacks, etc.)

I may even be brave enough to make another one (or three).

I mean after all, it's perfect for scooter-ing and dancing in the yard... :)

  3. Love it. And it is perfect for all things little girly. I do hear that going to the fabric store is addicting though.

  19. It is a nice sense of accomplishment when you finish isn't it?! I have so many projects that I need to get to. Why don't I have an extra day where I can be alone each week! Imagine what we could get done!
