Skirts June 5, 2008

My sister & 2 brothers recently came to visit. My sister and I went shopping almost all day Saturday with little to no luck finding cute clothing. So, with my new found love for sewing I suggested making our own clothing. We first set out to find a dress pattern that we liked, but since I had never sewed anything from a pattern I was scared away. We chose a simple skirt pattern to get us started and the best thing was that the pattern was only 88ยข. We chose some fabric & started cutting. My sister had never sewed anything before and she did the skirt all on her own & did a fabulous job. It took us a lot longer than we had hoped but now we each have an article of clothing we can take pride in. I wasn’t quite done with my skirt in this picture. I have finished it since then but want to make some changes. I’ll post an updated photo soon.

We bought a Vogue retro dress pattern too. We’ll be attempting this eventually. So check back :)
