The EASIEST kids skirt
July 14, 2010 7:00 amOk, so this is nothing genius. You have probably all made this already. But here’s the easiest 10 minute kids skirt.
Get a long piece of fabric, 1.5 times your child’s waist size. I made mine knee length. Sew the ends together.
With elastic thread, shirr the top of the dress. I went around and did it 3 times. Iron it after so it shrinks up.

LBB and Dharma Trading Design Challenge
February 11, 2010 11:11 am
I am a HUGE fan of Ashley’s Sienna Dress pattern I love reusing old clothes and I like how each piece comes out different. So I knew I had to enter this contest. I’ve done so mnay of her T-shirt dresses that I wanted to do one that was a little over the top, kids couture, if you will.
So I made the Cotton Candy Couture Dress.
I used her pattern and added these different kind of floral details with all different techniques.
A matching hair piece, of course!
I used a bunch of different t-shirts to make a striped skirt at the bottom. Then I added this pick-up where the tulle under layer shows.
Here are the plain close ups.
Skirt detail.
Som of the layered flower detail. What I did is appliqued cotton pieces on top of the t-shirt. Then I made dimensional pieces to go on top. There are layered flowers with beads and buttons, chiffon petal flowers, tulle pom poms, and silk ribbon swags
Then on the sleeves I gathered it up the middle and added lace bows from on of the t-shirts I used.
Thanks, Ashely for hosting this challenge!

Valentines for Boy’s
February 10, 2010 1:00 pmHere’s my idea for boy’s Valentines.
Cut out 2 pieces of felt in the shape of a football. You could do any ball. I just had lots of brown.
Add little white details for the laces.
Sew around the outside of the felt football, leaving a small opening.
Stuff them with dry beans, rice, or popcorn kernels.
Stitch the opening closed and you have little bean bag balls! I’m going to attach each boy’s name on a heart felt tag, too.
Enjoy!
