Lazy Days skirt #4

The last of the 4 skirts for Amelia, the pink with ladybugs on it. I have a few more pinned ready for sewing but sadly my machine started to play up and has gone away for another service. Worst timing in the world as I was really enjoying whirring away an afternoon...

So here is the pink skirt














and here are the 4 I made over the course of the week all together... I have really enjoyed doing this and will probably participate in another sew a long it was fun!

Lazy Days skirt #3

Today we have tackled the tiny flower fabric. Originally I was going to match this up with either the pink or the orange border but common sense got the better of me and I bought this lovely rich rusty terracotta.

Sew-a-long day 2

Day 2 and this is possibly my favourite skirt of the bunch. I thought the material was a bit ho-hum when Amelia chose it but she pulls it off so nicely. I went back to Spotlight the next day and picked up an iron on flower in orange to decorate a plain white t-shirt, the skirt couldn't really be worn with any thing other than white in my opinion! (certainly NOT with a purple Disney Princess PJ top!)



And in action at the park today before our Swimvac lesson... these were taken on my PDA and not going to win any photographic competitions!

Swirly Skirt Sew-a-long day 1

So, simply put, how bloody easy was this skirt to make? Challenging? Nope, not in the slightest! The only challenge is going to be to know when to stop making these! There are only so many skirts a girl can wear...

Skirt one - blue star fish with a plain blue border. I have enough of both fabrics to make one in reverse which will go in a parcel to my friend in Melbourne for her little girl, in fact Estelle might end up with a few skirts! I have a feeling anyone who is under 10 and has a birthday will end up with one of these as a gift boy or girl!!














Now, I have to say, Amelia saw Mel's post with Bella jumping. The skirt Bella is wearing has a border not ribbon or trim so, that is what Amelia wants with her skirts. When Stef has forgiven me for spending as much as I have both in time and in money in Spotlight recently I will venture in again and emerge with ribbon and fabric and make one strictly as per the pattern!

tomorrow... orange, pink or multi coloured flowers... oh I wonder...
