I recently made some matching skirts for a lady in my comunity. They were red and they were high waisted with big red ties in the front. They were so cute! I wanted to make something similar for my little ladies. I was shopping for fabric and was stopped in my tracks when came upon this adorable gray and white chevron at Hobby Lobby. I took what was left on the bolt (7/8 of a yard). Would you believe it if I told you that I whipped up these skirts (plus matching flower pins) on a Saturday evening and was actually in bed by 2:00 am. Go me!
Too bad I didn't have enough fabric to make the big ties, but with beautiful faces like those, who needs more adornment, right?
Another super simple skirt I made for a friend's daughter. She is going to be an angel for Halloween and needed a white skirt. They are so easy to make: a top casing for elastic and a bottom hem.
My in-laws are in town. Goodness, I love them!!! I've hardly touched a dirty dish, changed a diaper, or gotten up early enough to feed my kids breakfast. They are on top of everything! My father-in-law get's a little antsy when he doesn't have anything to do so I found a woodworking project and set him to work. It's not finished yet so I'll update later. I'm so excited!
My adorable son turned 7 the other day. We've been having fun with his new presents (big time favorites were Hexbugs and Bey Blades)! He requested a hot lava volcano cake! All the kids were in awe of my fabulous cake decorating skills. ha ha (I am not a professional and will NEVER claim to be).
My husband's coworker is having her first baby--a boy. My go to shower gift is a set of my favorite handmade baby bibs!
I added little "scraplique" robots to the front of two bibs to make a matching set.
I'm off to spend the last few days with my in-laws and then I'll be back with a few more projects and maybe a tutorial or two.
