I have been busy sewing this week.
(If you count ripping seams and restarting project mistakes as sewing)
I do.
And all the ripping and tearing has been worth it because Sissy now has THREE skirts that go past her little knobby knees.
First remember, this green flannel skirt with a zipper:
Second there was this disaster of a craft fail:
That I cut up, ripped apart and turned into this adorable skirt:
With matching Scarf and Headband no less:
And finally (my favorite one!!):
Owl Dot Print Courduroy
Sew Classic Courduroy
I used my ruffler foot to make the cute little ribbon for this skirt.
The bottom edge flairs out just a little bit…so cute!:
Course I had to make a matching scarf for this one too.
So glad to be done with Sissy’s stuff….now moving on to the Boys!
(btw: Scarves are super easy long rectangles with a fleece side and a courderoy side!! The headbands are from a free online pattern (which I can’t find) but do a search and you’ll find a zillion ways to make them! These are a great way to use up scraps and get a polished “Gymboree” look!)
Love to see young people still sewing. Cute skirts. Did u use a pattern?
So adorable. I so needed to see this today . . . I couldn’t remember what I was going to do after I finished the scrapbook I was working on and have been in a daze since ~ feeling very restless that I do not have a project to do! And I remembered that I need to sew Elli some winter skirts {and soon} so I can sew some baby things before baby gets here. I think I remember you having some of the cutest baby things so I will be back! Thanks for sharing all the crafty things you do ~ they inspire me!
Great re-dos! I really like the last one with the headband and scarf. Cute material. :)
Very sweet!
We just went through our summer clothes too. What a good idea to add to skirts and shorts that they have out grown. Thank, Karen

These turned out wonderfully!! I’m sure Sissy will LOVE them!! Way to go! xoxo :-)
