Addiction

Although I have only been doing if for a very short time, I think I have an addiction. I'm addicted to making my girls skirts. My friend's little girl had on the cutest skirt a few months back so I asked her where she got it. She made it. So I looked at it closer and said, "I can do that." Then I made sure it was okay if I stole her idea (which she stole from an online boutique). I have made 3 different ones for both my girls and then I made one for all the Gardner Girl Cousins...that's 9 total. My friend has me beat I think. Anyways, they are way cute and fun to make. I need to get more fabric for my next set. Here's my girls skirts.

Those are SO ADORABLE!!! I love the skirts you made!

Until I have a girl I guess I'll have to stick to sewing ties onto bibs and onesies, and sewing vests. At least he looks all dressed up on Sundays. :)

I saw something like that online - wonder if it's the same boutique your friend got the idea from. Love the fabric too, was that ordered from a specialty shop??

I'd love to make one for Hannah - I don't think she's too old yet!

So CUTE. They almost make me want another little girl to dress up (almost, but not quite enough). I agree that you should try aprons next - make one for yourself. They are so chic!

The skirts are great... if only I had girls... {I probably still wouldn't make them... but I can home}

And Issac looks really happy with that helpmet on.

HEY! I want one! My girl would love that! She'd call it a "spinner" skirt... what a darling gift idea. Great job!

So cute. Someday - if I ever have a girl - I will have to get the pattern from you.
