I saw these really cute twirly skirts online at www.houseonhillroad.com a few weeks ago and I wanted to try them out. Since I have 3 girls, I have to make 3 skirts, so I finally got enough courage to try it out. This is the first time I have ever got a pattern off of the internet and attempted anything like this.
I know the picture is crooked, but there is my cutting mat.
My sewing machine.
And my happy girls wearing the final product.
What I learned from this:
* you don't save any money by sewing things on your own
* the kids have NEVER seen me sew anything and they were fascinated by the machine
* it's really not that hard
* you can find some dang cute fabric
* my tastes are not the fabric that is on sale
* the outcome was worth the work I put into it
* I made my girls' day (in the end, I think that is what matters)
