Success!

So, after a phone call to a local shop, chaos was averted with a quick trip and purchase of elastic and two craft projects were completed!  So I bring you a birthday skirt for Scarlett’s friend and a skirt for Scarlett to wear to the birthday today!

Of course I stared the skirts yesterday afternoon.  I figured I could knock them over in a couple of hours, on a public holiday, with Greg home to help, ha!  Try a few more hours than the initial few and you are close.  I didn’t use a pattern, just made it up as I went.

Scarlett was very proud of her skirt.  I cherish the fact she loves things I make for her.  The photo’s aren’t the greatest, but as I only completed the skirts 5 minutes before we had to leave, it’s the best I could do.

The heart doubles as a pocket

All wrapped up!
