Another Lazy Day skirt...

I found this fabric (print and sheer) while I was waiting FOREVER for someone to come (at a not so favorite fabric place) and cut some felt for me. The felt was for an Easter project that I didn't end up doing, maybe next year. This week I did, however, make another Lazy day Skirt... this one with a little pocket and sheer layer underskirt. Total cost of skirt: $3.72 ( I already had the ribbon).

Quilt Cards...

It's Spring Break right now and all the kids are home. This afternoon all of my boys were taking naps and my daughter was looking for something fun to do (believe me the thought of her watching a show and me taking a nap was very tempting). Instead, we thought of an art project. I already had the sewing machine out and asked her if she knew you could sew on paper, she didn't and thought it sounded fun. She had a good time going through my fabric scraps, picking her favorite color combos, cutting the perfect pieces and placing the pieces on her paper for her "quilt card" and I had fun making one myself. Then little 4 year-old brother woke up and needed to make one too. I think they'd make cute Easter cards and plan to make more when ALL the boys are asleep again... just a little easier that way:)

Lazy Days Skirt

My good friend Ferndale introduced me to this cute free pattern from Oliver + S last year, but I hadn't gotten around to making one until now. She's made a bunch for her girls in the past year and they're all so cute! This week she let me go shopping in her fabric and showed me how they're done. They really are as easy as she said! Thanks Ferndale:)
