finally!

it's been a crazy busy weekend but after we spent half the day putting up tents (practicing for our upcoming camping weekend with some eb friends) i decided i HAD to make emelia some skirts. she is half TT'ing and will only wear skirts most days. i don't have many and when i have to put her in 2-3 a day then we have a problem! lol

so i thought i'd whip up a few quick skirts.

well, that was the plan anyway *rolls eyes* i grabbed out some cheap (and nasty heh) printed cotton i had stashed away and cut out a twirly skirt. however i forgot you don't have to do the 1.6x measurement on the waist, so it is twirlier than twirly! i also decided that as i was goin to have to join it i would make it a feature so i cut the strips into rectangles and joined them all, seams out, with a decorative zigzag (which i figured would give more strength and better protection from too much fraying)

so anyway, i wanted to sew ricrac around the bottom but didn't have nearly 4m laying around so finished it with a decorative stitch with yellow satin thread.

et voila.

i'll try to get a photo of her in it tomorrow. i'm not that happy with it but it's a skirt and she won't care that i'm not happy! lol
