More Skirts for Girls

Hello Everyone!

Well, birthday time has come for another one of my little great nieces. I got a little sew happy and made up two skirts and two culottes.  It was fun.

Here they are all together.

Since the last circle skirt I made for my other niece was such a hit, I decided I had better make one for this niece.
This pattern came from here.

This is fabric I bought on Ebay last year to make her something and never got around to it.  I only had a half a yard so I knew I needed to do something while she was still little or I wouldn't have enough fabric.

This little girl has a fetish for pockets so I added these to the side.  The graphic came from The Graphics Fairy
I just added the words and printed it on fabric using my printer.

Culottes made from a shorts pattern.

This is from a paper pattern that I have.  I have made a gajillion of these.

Unfortunately, all this sewing I've been doing has been on borrowed machines.  Mine decided to quit on me right in the middle of a project.  I had to drive an hour to take it to a Bernina dealer. Then they tell me the mother board is bad. Not good. Especially the cost of fixing it, almost $300. Still cheaper than a new Bernina but yikes, that is high. I'm thinking if I ever need to get into a job, I ought to learn how to fix sewing machines. Those guys charge lots of money per hour for labor charge. Oh well, I don't think I can survive without my sewing machine and I DON'T know how to fix it so I guess I will have to bite the bullet and pay the repair cost. Ouch!

Been sewing lately? Do share. So until next time...

Have a blessed day,
