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.
Oh, that is adorable! Those little pleats make it so perfect! And your little model is awfully adorable herself! :)
ReplyDeleteBossypants is so freaking good. It cracks me up a lot.
ReplyDeleteYour skirt(s) is cute, cute! So is your little girl. She's darling.
Ok
ReplyDeleteA. I haven't read bossypants but need to because Tina fey is hilarious
B. adorable skirt!!
C. That pile of fabrics is jaw droppingly delightful. *thud* love pink castle. Can you hear me shuffling off to pin some fabrics? Lol
D. I feel the Lemon. Cheese love....oh yes. Chucking out the real pants for some elastic waisted hippie pants? Oh yes. Trying oh so hard to be sexy and just looking like a dweeb? Totally.
Love those skirts. Missing the days when I could sew girlie stuff for my daughter (it lasted about 3 years, and then the picky little dictator moved in). Now I get to sew fun shorts and school uniform pants for her instead. As long as they aren't girlie.
ReplyDeleteSUPER adorable. Love it when she's sitting. I actually didn't start sewing until my daughter was a toddler, but a skirt was my first project (the lazy days skirt)! So fun and easy.
ReplyDeleteHow freaking cute is she?!?! PS: Don't feel bad about the book; I cracked it open a good 6 months ago and STILL haven't finished it!
ReplyDeleteI love a bit of 'accidental' sewing! Great skirts. I love the triangle print in your new stash, has a nautical feel to it
ReplyDeleteLove love love that baby and that skirt is totally adorable on her, can' wait to hug all over her in a few weeks.
ReplyDeleteSuper lovely blog!

ReplyDeleteso so cute! she is adorable and i agree those ruffles are the bees knees!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, I want to kiss her (how's that for creepy?)! Thanks for pointing out the pleats when she was sitting because I was still mesmerized by her face. Yes, the skirt is cute, I suppose... I mean, but in comparison? She's ADORABLE.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely adorable!!! The Music Class skirt has to be my all time favorite skirt pattern. :)
ReplyDeleteWow. Ok those skirts are just too cute! Plus that triangle fabric! I think I'm in love. So fun!!!

I'm pregnant with a girl and I'm trying to get out all of my sewing for myself and my son now, because I have a feeling once the girly sewing starts that's all I'll want to do!
ReplyDeleteLooking around for color ideas (I have a hard time not making things in the fabric on the pattern cover!) - love the trim you added! Did you leave off the pockets? (My baby is just about walking too, but not sure how much use she'd get from pockets!)
ReplyDeleteHuh comment seems to have disappeared... Anyhow, love the trim you added; did you omit the pockets? Not sure how much my barely-walking baby would use them!
ReplyDeleteAh, NOW I get the comment approval notice - sorry if duplicate comments!
