    Heres my lil girls skirt. it is pale pink with a white trim with little pink dots on it. Tori wanted it just above her ankles but it is mid calf which she loves. i'm so chuffed.

    going to make a two tone colour one next for her.

    I have got started on a maxi dress though ... :)


    Ooh, I'd like to make a maxi dress. What pattern are you using?


    I've done a tiny bit of sewing today. My daughter had a stain on the back of her tshirt and I've covered it with a patch of gingham that I've frayed round the edges and added a few buttons and pieces of ribbon.

    thankyou. yes she did like it. but her tummy was still hurting so wasn't too keen on wearing it.

    i am wondering it if can be made using a fine cord material. as though it be nice for autumn with tight's and boot's.
