Well making this skirt was really a breeze with my new surger, but I didn't use it to its full advantage. I could have done all the gathering on it but was a bit scared to try incase the measuring didn't work out but will experiment more on my next gathering project. Olivia loved it so much she put it on straight away and it hadn't even been pressed! Being a novelty she is even wearing it again today.
I took the kids down to the beach yesterday, we went down to the plaza for ice-cream, brought a ball from the $2 shop and headed down to the beach for a play. Here is the skirt and some pics.
The kids have been having heaps of fun, Emily and Briana got quite burn't one day so have been keeping them indoors most of the time the last few days. Hope to take the Jet-ski out in the weekend.
My next sewing project, A Bag, I have taken two patterns away, one Rag Bag Kit and also one Amy Butler pattern, not sure when I'll get to reveal how these go but will update when I get started.
The dress is just gorgeous!!! Kids look like they are having an awesome time!! A long deserved break!!
