My New Favorite Skirt

Last week I helped my friend, Katie, sew a beautiful blue circle skirt. I had to make one for myself with the most gorgeous fabric! It's the prettiest Amy Butler sheet set that I bought on clearance at Bed Bath and Beyond (plus I used a 20% off coupon, which don't actually expire btw).

Note the less awkward pictures once Ansley is around. :)

I'm planning to make Ansley a matching dress, but we won't have to wear them at the same time, all the time. ;) Maybe I'll make a second one, since it's just that awesome. Then I can wear one while the other is being washed. (Does anyone else buy multiples of clothes they like that fit well?)

Even though I have enough skirts, I might need to make more. . . .

  3. You're in the middle of the road?! Well, it is North Dakota, so maybe not much traffic...but still :). And I guess it makes for nice photography :). Gorgeous skirt, talented mom, and beautiful picture of mom and Ansley!

  4. You are amazing! It's so cool that you use the fabric around to make fun clothes! You're like Maria Von Trapp!
