I have not sewn in many months, and I was really missing it. Even though I hadn’t been sewing I had still been shopping, so I have quite a few lovely patterns I’ve collected with the thought of making them into skirts for Ella. So this week I dusted off the sewing machine, which is new to me, so I had some re-learning to do (I’m a beginner anyway, so it was quite a task). I spent two days making a skirt that could probably be made in an hour or two by someone a bit more capable. I enjoyed every minute of my sewing time…with the boys asking constant technical questions, the baby cuddling on my lap (teething) and Ella by my side doing some hand-sewing of her own. And in the end I created a cute little Christmas cupcake skirt for her to wear to our upcoming celebrations and gatherings. I used the Oliver & S Lazy Day Skirt Pattern, it’s free and it’s simple! And now I’m itching to make some more skirts…so many cute fabrics ready to go!
