Twirly Skirts

As many of you know I am not much of a seamstress. And when the lack of talent isn't present, I strive even harder to conquer the task! Therefore, I couldn't just make 1 twirly skirt, I had to make 9 (Just to make sure I have it down!). (Actually they were Christmas presents for the cousins on the Briggs side.)

House On Road Hill has a fabulous tutorial on how to make them. No pattern required! If I can make them, so can you!

A close up of the girls skirts & shirts I made!

That's A LOT of sewing! (Not to mention 1 skirt and 3 shirts are missing from the picture!)

I made another skirt and shirt for Addi
(They have become so addicting, that I just may end up making her one for every season)

Happy New Year..plus a little gift!

Hooray 2009! I decided to bring in the new year with another new hobby of mine...blog design! Feel free to snag it and add it to your blog. Look for more to come!

{Now I KNOW it's not perfect, but it'll have to do for now!}
