A little bit of sewing!

I thought that this deserved it's own post

I DID SEWING!

Yes don't fall off of your chairs, I actually managed to sit at the sewing machine and start and finish something. It feels so good and oh it has been so long since I have been able to say that.

So here is a twirling skirt for Amelia.

The pattern is Little Hip Skirt from Favourite Things
The material was an opshop find from last year and I teamed it with yellow and white polkadot fabric.

Next time I make it I will sew the elastic into the back piece only, making it a smooth front waist band.

  6. H.I.'s sister used to pick out her skirts based entirely on how much twirl she could get out of 'em. Imagine a preschooler twriling in between every outfit she tried on!!!
