I am so excited to participate today on the Lily fabric tour for Penny Rose Fabrics. I had so much fun sewing up this scalloped skirt, mini tote and darling fabric banner using the pink and yellow colorways that I was provided by Penny Rose Fabrics. The first thing I thought of when I saw this fabric was pink lemonade. It’s just so happy and bright. It was almost exactly 6 years ago that I first published this skirt tutorial.…
Welcome Friends! I’m so excited to share with you this fun fabric today- oh, and a cute pillowcase dress made out of it as well, as part of the blog hop celebrating Wonderland Fabric by Melissa Mortensen for Riley Blake Designs! My sweet friend Melissa from the blog Polka Dot Chair is a relatively new designer for Riley Blake Designs, in fact, this is only her second line of fabric- which I’m sure would surprise you when you get a…
This is the mock up I made of the skirt tutorial I am in the process of writing. Hopefully it will be done this evening. (to be posted on another blog- I’ll let you know as soon as it’s up) I kept feeling that I needed to make a nativity set of figurines. The baby Jesus comes out of the manger (my 2 year old loves this feature) and they sit on blocks that read “Silent Night”. I’m pretty happy…
When I set out to create a skirt, or pillow, or whatever for that matter- I usually have a picture in my head of what I want it to look like, but usually no pattern or other practical experience on how to make it to pull from. So, basically it’s a crap-shoot whether or not something will turn out the way I want it to. I know many of you find yourselves in the same boat. So, here’s my question…
Okay, I thought our first ever Point of View was a BLAST!! We had over 30 link ups at the party!! You guys are amazing- some really beautiful stuff out there for sure. We each get to feature a couple of our favorite skirts and these are mine: This knit skirt from Every Crafty Endeavor looks so comfy- LOVE the yoga waistband. I could live in a skirt like this all summer! And she even created a tutorial for it…
I have been on pins and needles with excitement this week! I Can Not believe how fun this project has been. And when I saw the collage today- I was floored. I mean, I knew we had some great bloggers involved, but I am completely blown away! And I am totally loving the fact that there are a couple of “skirts” that you wouldn’t immediately think of when someone said “skirt” to you- Fab- U- Lous! Want to see more…
Here it is, at long last! My skirt for March’s Point of View theme. 🙂 I LOVE this skirt, it makes me giddy just looking at it. And I am so thankful for my neighbor who took these pictures for me, since I can never get this little one to sit still or get far enough away from me to take a decent picture. So, Ready to make one for yourself? These measurements will make a skirt that will fit…
This darling daughter of mine has been so patient with me. She let me experiment with her clothes, and even wears some of the ones I make for her in public! She was in dire need of some new skirts, and the one thing I have is fabric- so we went about making this one. I really like how it turned out. I used a pattern I bough at Joann’s when they were $.99 one time, but there are tutorials…
