Skirt with a Border Print

Tillbrook Fabric by Alexander Henry

With the Girly Skirt by Pink Fig, I used this fabric by Alexander Henry to make a border print skirt. I couldn't resist these flower fairies! So cute!

I did not use the bottom border piece from the Girly Skirt pattern, instead I just used the middle skirt piece and lengthened it.

Here's the waistband piece. I love the mushrooms!

Hannah loves her skirt! The best part was how fast it came together!

p.s. I used the leftover fabric (the flowered lines in top photo) to make a dress for "Little Dresses for Africa"

Fabric Covered Notebooks

Presents for my 5 nieces

I made these the day before we left for Utah. They are very easy to sew and I used the same color thread for all 5 so I could sew assembly line style. This is the second time I made this pattern and this time I remembered to wash the fabric first! The pattern is from Skip to My Lou who has a wonderful blog!

I let the girls pick which one they wanted when we arrived in Utah. They were so sweet and said how much they loved them.
I put a fun colored gel pen in each pocket. Hannah picked out which pen went to which notebook. The fabric for the notebooks is Woodland Bloom from Pink Fig.

The Patchwork Skirt

(Did you notice the shoes?)

I finally finished "The Patchwork Skirt" by Pink Fig. I love her patterns and love the fabric her aunt (Lila Tueller) designs. All the fabric is Woodland Bloom by Lila Tueller. The pattern was very easy to put together and Hannah loves the skirt. The shirt is from Gymboree and I'm not sure if I want to embellish it or not.
