Music Class Skirts (or a drunken midget lives in my house)

That line is directly from Bossypants by Tina Fey which I just finished (I know, like a year after everyone else and their sister.) I liked it so much I kind of want to immediately read it again. My husband always says I'm such a Liz Lemon because I do real classy things like put on elastic waist pants as soon as I get home or crave cheese at night. Now I know how right he is.

Anyway, babies first learning to walk really do resemble small and inebriated people. And if those babies are girls, you may really get excited about them being able to wear dresses and skirts because they won't just crawl all over them now. And if you sew, you may really get excited by the world of girly girl sewing that has just opened up to you.

At first I had my doubts about how the design of this skirt would come across on such a wee one. I was wrong to doubt. It's the Oliver & S Music Class Skirt and it's pretty much essential for girls of any age.

And when sitting down? The pleats are killing me on those knees. Killing me dead. And there is still plenty of room for her to crawl, which is about 60% of the time nowadays. 

I didn't necessarily mean to make it yesterday, but then this pretty stack arrived from Pink Castle fabrics. The pattern was just sitting there because I had borrowed it from work. It was like a compulsion. I had just finished a really grueling project for PR&P and needed some distraction sewing... I think I'm going to make a top of some sort to go with it out of the yellow woodgrain and the triangles. 

It was so quick and easy I made this red one too. Whoops.
