Sewing

Don't you think it is important for us housewives to stick together?  I do, and here is the result:

Isn't it cute?  I totally want one!  Since you have no reference to scale, I will tell you it is a size three and that is most definitely NOT my size.  But I could totally see it in my own size.  Sigh.  Well, moving on.  My sister-in-law emailed me at the end of last year because she wanted to make her daughter some skirts.  I looked at pattern books for a super-easy pattern but found nothing so I told her I would make up a pattern for her.  However, I didn't really want to have to make a pattern because I don't exactly enjoy doing that, and I was in the middle of a move and blah, blah, blah.  Fast forward some months...I found the perfect Simplicity pattern for a little girl's skirt.  I grabbed it up during a sale and paid a big 80 cents for the pattern.  Then I scrounged in my sewing stash for the perfect fabric for the three-year old in question.  So there it is.  It took about half an hour to complete.  Little girl clothes take a lot less time, I'll tell ya!  Now I am just ruing the day that I didn't get an 80 cent pattern for myself to keep so I could make more little skirts for my other niece.
