The Love Me Two Times Skirt
Ok so I made another "Love" skirt. I made the All You Need Is Love Skirt back in February but then last week I got to peruse some of Riley Blake's solids and decided it was time to make another one.

It was really easy and if you want to make one here's what to do: (I just drew out the letters by hand because, well, I like drawing ... View the Post
