Flirty Skirts

It has been a long time since I have sat at my sewing machine to 

sew anything but quilts and craft projects---perhaps 15 years or 

more.  But, I recently purchased a quilting magazine at work and in 

it were the instructions for these darling "flirty" skirts that are 

becoming so popular.  As soon as I saw them, I knew Hailey had to 

have one.  Once Kerri saw them she decided she would also like to

make some for her friends daughters.  These skirts are so simple 

and easy to do and can be finished in just a few hours.

We spent a day shopping for fabric then preshrunk it, pressed 

and cut out the strips then went to work sewing these bouncy little 

skirts.  With each section completed my excitement increased.  

They absolutely delighted me and I could just picture these sweet 

little girls twirling and flitting around in them.

Of course, the skirts were not complete until they were modeled 

to make sure they would fit.  It wasn't hard to find the perfect 

models---just took a little persuasion and the promise that our models 

wouldn't have to wear them again.

Family Home Evening Thursday night gave me a chance to present 

Hailey with her new skirt, shirt and leggins.  Doesn't she look darling!  

And it fits!!  Yeah!!

 I knew Hailey was pleased and delighted with her new outfit when 

she chose to wear it to Kindergarten on Friday.  I had such fun making 

these that I think I'll make her another one for Easter.
