today i hosted a craft open house - only eilleen was able to make it but it was lovely to chat and catch up with her, and i achieved my aim of getting something done!
i had planned to start some winter clothes for ryan but hadn't tidied up in time (plus hadn't washed the fabric) and remembered i wanted to make a princess skirt for rory for her birthday. i found the instructions on a blog (i forget where :() last week.
I had some gorgeous green and blue glittery organza already and decided to combine the two, not realising that it would make a skirt that looked like a mermaids! the idea was to make a loop of elastic slightly smaller than the waist (i used my usual wide waist elastic but recommend you use as narrow an elastic as possible, as long as it's strong enough). you then cut strips of any shimmery / see through fabric and simply knot them around the elastic - voila!
the only downside is that there is glitter EVERYWHERE!
the photos show emelia modelling it for me :)

What a great idea! So simple and looks so effective. I'm sure I've got some fabric that would suit. Tisse would be thrilled.
Emelia looks tickled pink, you might need to make another one ; p
adorable!!
She does look well pleased with it!
This is gorgeous Karen! I love the shimmery colours.
