Skirts

Last night, after the kiddos were in bed, I sewed. It seems the only time I can sew is during consecutive nap times (which are rare), at night when they are in bed, or when Joe is home and keeping the children occupied.

With Spenser's broken leg, she really has to wear skirts or dresses. She has a few casual skirts (without built-in panties) and dresses, but she seems to go through her stash pretty quickly. And, really, what girl doesn't need more skirts? I'm not going to deny her that.

The inspiration of these skirts came from the same book as yesterday's dress. The first one is in Strawberry Shortcake fabric. This girl loves "Shortcake," as she calls her. I Spenser found this fabric on clearance a few months back. That girl can spot Shortcake a mile away.


The second skirt is from my stash of Alexander Henry's Apples + Pears. I like this one the best.

These skirts whipped up very quickly. Like 30 minutes each.

I LOVE the Alexander Henry skirt! I've got that fabric in my stash and I love it so much, I'm scared to use it. Isn't that silly?

You can't beat a 30 minute skirt. So cute. And "shortcake" totally matches the cast. :)

Well, if it had to be broken, I guess the buckle is the better option, huh? And if you had to have a reason to sew such *cute* skirts, then this is there isn't a better reason! Cute, cute, skirts and sweet little girl. 3 weeks - that's pretty good!

Very nice skirts Lera. It's so nice to see the fabric turned into a skirt. Now you can enjoy it every time she wears it. Or maybe it's just me who loves to see nice fabrics all around her...

Sorry about her fractured leg. Hope it heals okay.
