    at first it was too long but I've amended that now. Next I'm making some pirate shorts for the middle child then they all have something summery for our holidays that I've made. Oh I've just realised I have turquoise ribbon and ladybirds I could use as centres so gonna do a matching hairbow for this skirt.

    the skirt with matching hair bow

    Got the fabric for DS shorts today and its a little thin, I think I may have to line it but not done that before. Or maybe it'll be ok since its just for our boating holiday.
