Have I mentioned that I've never sewn a piece of clothing in my life? I've made odds and ends costume accessories, and plenty of rag quilts and rag table runners, but NEVER clothing that someone would actually wear! I made the above skirt completely from scraps. The only thing I had to purchase was the elastic to go in the waistband. My mom gave me a bunch of her scraps the other day, I had so much fun going through them all. You may recognize the black and white print from my recent
photo display frame. I used a "snowflake skirt" pattern that my mom gave me to go off of...it was a hand drawn and written pattern that just explained how to cut the material and how to put it together. I'm thrilled with how it turned out, though I won't be surprised if it completely falls apart in the wash the first time it needs to be cleaned (which will be often considering it's for a 3 year old). Can't wait to make the shirt and headband I have in mind to go with it!!!

This skirt is super cute, but the thing I love most is the sweet little belly at the top. It's just begging to be tickled! ;D
Super cute, Aly! I had a Relief Soc. Meeting the other night, and your name came up a few times. Would love to do a mini class with you and your cute projects! :0)) The women around here need a step by step on some of your fun things!
