Before leaving Portland, I promised Norah that she could pick out some fabric for a skirt because she didn't like the last one I made her AT ALL. I mean, I have to bribe her with lots of forbidden treats to even get her to put the thing on. As a new sewer, I desperately want to see my kids in my creations, so I knew I would make another one in a fabric of her choice. Sadly, the fabric of her choice is not one of my choice, but... she is wearing it and I am loving it no matter what. I got the pattern here, cut the fabric to 16 inches (I think) before the seams, and cut the elastic waistband to 19 inches (18 after overlapping). Olivia, her dolly, has one on the way too.

What a nice blog you have! I too have been stitching up summery skirts for my girlie lately too!
Who knew you'd grow up to be so handy dandy and crafty? Glad to see you back (online) and hope you get settled in soon. Oh, and I love your photography. You know how I like a great picture:)
Oh, and I added you to my blogroll 'cause I'm pretty sure you are my most favoritest blogger in the World Wide Web:)
