I have had this pile of fabric sitting on this bench since before July......and it is calling to me. So, I am finally getting to it this week.You see, liZ and I have had these grand plans for a couple of years now to sew a full "Lookbook" wardrobe for our girls. We have talked about it FOREVER and decided last Spring (before we went to LA for our fabric-shopping trip) that this Autumn/Winter was the year!!!!

$5 Friday: Fancy Little Lady Skirts with DIY Iron On Patches
So as I mentioned a little while ago I've been into making my own iron on patches. I don't have any of those nifty machines that you just send an image over to and it cuts out some stuff.
