Twirly Girly Skirt

I whipped together this little twirly skirt for Hannah Banana to get ready for Valentine's Day! I think her Chuck's are a nice touch. :)

Here's a final look at the skirt (laid out on Hannah's quilt, which my Mother made when she was my age). It's a reversible black polka dot and solid black skirt with a red yolk.

This isn't the first go round with this skirt as I've made her two in the past as you may remember, and I'll probably make her a few more for as long as she's interested in twirling. :) I love my girly girl!

The Ruler

I love that she's so involved in whatever we're doing. She wasn't very helpful in cutting fabric, but she sure looked cute counting the numbers on the rulers.

Addy's Dress

My friend Krystl let me go through her Goodwill pile before getting rid of her stuff, and I found a few items that are perfect to upcycle! For instance, this was once a super soft small t-shirt. I cut it up, sewed up the sides, followed this tutorial to make the braided collar, and then I tried my hand at a little embroidery, and voila! Now it's a summery play dress for her little girl Addy.

Theoretically, this should have been an easy peasy project. But let's just say that my my machine revolted against the jersey knit and gave me trouble for a few days. But the pay off for hard work is great, and I hope Addy wears it out!

Sneak Peak

Um, how cute is this pocket? Way cute right?! Imagine the dress it's going to go on!
