Hello! Today we are over at Sewing in No Mans Land taking part in Kelly's 12 Skirts of Christmas Series... ...where we are sharing a tutorial for some skirts that I made my girls to wear on Christmas Day. I'm pretty excited about them...and weirdly enough I bought everything to put their entire outfits together at Wal-Mart. The shirts are Garanimals (I actually love Garanimals shirts for the girls...they wash and wear wonderfully) and each of them cost $4.88. And then the fabric for the ... View the Post
A Little Bit of Neon (ok, it’s a lot of neon….)
This week I am sharing a few of our back-to-school outfits with "pops of neon." I showed you the Bateau Dress already and up today is a neon pink skirt that was a big hit at first sight. I am sharing all the details over at Riley Blake's blog today.... See you there!!! ~Elizabeth ... View the Post
Spring Lookbook: Orange Sherbet
The last outfit of the week was also "client-inspired." Every year I have made Hannie a tulle skirt (here and here are past years) and this year she asked for another "ballerina skirt." So, impractical as it is, I went with it. (Although I will add that both past years skirts have washed up perfectly and were worn a lot!) I don't dry the tulle skirts, I just hang them up and they are ready to go. The tulle is actually bridal chiffon tulle, which I love because it is extremely soft (much ... View the Post
The Love is in the Air Skirt (with Printable Template)
Every year I make Grace a skirt for Valentines Day. (Remember last year I made her the All You Need is Love Skirt and then later I made her the Love Me Two Times Skirt.) Well, this year I wanted to combine the felt from the first skirt with the cotton skirt of the second one and I came up with this: The Love is in the Air Skirt. It is a simple elastic waistband skirt made of cotton fabric with felt pieces that I held in place with fabric glue and then embroidered around with a running ... View the Post
Thrifted Thursday—A new skirt with a pirate belt?
Over the summer I found about 3 yards of this wierd, blue, stretchy, textured fabric (that smelled like moth balls) at a local thrift store. So I bought it for $2, brought it home, and washed it twice. Then last month I made Grace a back to school skirt with a small piece of it. The only problem with it is that for some reason Grace thinks she needs to wear it with a "pirate belt". (With all the sickness I had during the pregnancy Grace watched way too many movies and tv shows---especially ... View the Post
$5 Friday…Maternity Skirts from Dollar Store T-Shirts
Warning!!!! What you are about to see isn't pretty. It is a photo of a very pregnant me. A photo which probably should have never been taken.... This is one of the maternity skirts I made for myself when I got too big for everything I owned (and that includes previous maternity clothes). I made several of these hunnies. All were made from extra large T-shirts I bought at Dollar Tree (our local dollar store). They were super simple to make. First I laid out the shirt, wacked the top off (just ... View the Post
