I sewed some little skirts for a lady we know in the church here....She needed some help and you know how I love to sew! And if you didn't, I do! :) I had about as much fun planning and shopping for the fabric as I did creating them! They are super simple: just plain gathered skirts. But with just a little extra effort you can make them really cute! I did a drawstring waist so they will fit any little girl...plus I added the pockets. :) A patch pocket is cute yes, but these little pockets just grabbed me and made me sew them!! I actually altered a pattern I found here. For all you "better at colour than me" people (you know who you are!!) I realize the purple pattern and the yellow are the weakest link, but I needed to only buy one contrasting colour and that's the best I had to work with! I really like all the colours...it makes me want to branch out myself!!
The sizes are about 8-10, 4 T and 18 month...
I was able to get one skirt of each size out of every colour of fabric. And I bought two yards of each! So that worked out really nice!
Do you see that precious popkin skirt there, the little baby one? The one that is so adorable that I could cry? Yeah, that was my favorite to make...and I can just see some sweet little Trini baby girl toddling around in it....Can't you?!
So that's my latest sewing project!

How cute!!
ok. We are back (by we, I mean myself and daughter) to look at the hello kitty skirt. Did you by chance buy the fabric recently? May I ask where you got the fabric? You just did a fantastic job!
AMAZING! You did such a grand job, Lydia!
Thanks so much everyone! And Kimberely, I bought all the fabric here in Trinidad! Sorry that I can't be of more help!
