“HAPPY LATE FATHER’S DAY!” 🙂 Yeah, I’m a bit behind the ball… but I’m extra thankful for my Dad and for Tim. I love you both!
I forgot to post the past couple of days because we have been so busy having summer fun! I’ve decided that I really want to try and be more proactive at trying new things and doing crafts I’ve always said “I’ll do when I have more time…” So, if you’re familiar with Pinterest, I’ve decided to try and to a Pin-A-Day. Or thereabouts. If I miss a day I’ll maybe try and do an extra pin the next day. But this could be ANYTHING–just something that I saw somewhere on the internet and said, “Huh, that’s fun. I want to try that.”
For example I tried this….
…. years ago and I still use it to this day. It’s very handy. I use it on the top of my mini chocolate chips that I put in the kids pancakes. It works like a charm. And I found that idea on Pinterest.
Oh, yeah! And the Time Out / Glitter bottles! I found that idea on there too! Remember?
Anyway that’s what I’ve been up to. You can follow along with my Pinterest things on the right-hand side link “100 Pinterest Attempts” and if something is very monumental, I’ll post about it here. 🙂 (Or if there is a certain item you want me to post on, just ask!)
Today I want to highlight two skirts that I made for Chloe over the weekend. Keep in mind, I’ve never sewed a skirt for Chloe. And I’ve never done a skirt with an elastic waistband attached directly to the skirt. It was tricky business! Well, it probably would have been easier if I had actually read the directions, or had directions. Yeah, this crazy lady decided to just “make it on a whim!” So, all that considered… I think it turned out well. And Chloe thinks it’s the bomb, so that’s really all that matters. 😉
Skirt One. Made this from scratch.
Skirt Two. Sewed this together, but the fabric already had the elastic waist band attached… 🙂
It looks great! I need some sewing lessons!
Skirt #1 looks like it is straight out of the 1970’s! Is that her favorite?
Looks like those turned out awesome! Well done!!
Mom–she loves the flower and “flowy-ness” of skirt #1.
I like how skirt one hangs on her, too. It looks like it is a good spinning skirt!
Good job! Elastic waistbands can be an interesting challenge sometimes. She will enjoy her mother’s skills.
