I made two more skirts
to send with Bella this past week. I am not happy with the second one however. I think the elastic needs to be tighter on the waist and the bottom hem didn't stitch properly, so I'm going to rip it out and do it again. The tension was off on the machine, but I didn't see it until I had finished hemming the skirt.
I am hoping I have time to make a pink polk-a-dot one yet, but I got sidetracked with making a pillowcase dress for Squirt.
We're having a gray, rainy day here - and so I really enjoyed seeing your blog's new look! Very springy-summery. And the skirts are also very summery. Ahhh. I can almost feel the sun - whoops! that's a girl breathing down my neck!! *L*
ReplyDeleteI think they're both adorable, though I like the narrower band on the orange skirt better :0)

I think the skirts are perfect! I have a sewing machine, but every time I get motivated and take it out I get so frustrated! I admire the way you can do this kind of stuff.
ReplyDeleteOooh, I like that first one especially. I plan to make the Oliver &S lazy days one.
