I decided to have a go at something new (to me) so I made a ruffle for the bottom. It is rare that I sew with a pattern. I tend to work things out as I go, mostly because I am too impatient to follow a pattern. There was a bit of quick unpicking. Pfftt! It's never 'quick' is it?! Anyway an hour and half later I had a completed skirt. Hooray!
Part way through it became evident there was too much fabric in it for Lulu. I mentioned it was going to be too big for her and thank goodness she said 'we'll have to give it to Bella cos she's big'. So Miss 10 has a new skirt waiting on her bed to try on after school. Funny thing is she's not so much of a pink floral type. I predict she will team it with her red converse boots to make it more her.
So now I am off to do some painting and maybe tonight I will sew another, much smaller skirt!

Nice to have little projects to turn to when you have time on your hands....despite the unpicking..

mmmm yes, loving that unusual combo!
Beautiful skirt!
Just lovely! Go you with no pattern. Here that, that is my hat coming off to you Miss. Good thing you got a big one and a littler one to sew for, back ups for mishaps hahaha. Always a delight. xx
Well done on the gathering, see it's not that hard is it?
Looks very cute. x
Go the frill! I sew the same way, all completely made up on the spot, patterns are too hard for me. I think you are just a tad more productive than me though in the sewing department. I need to finish painting first. melx
