Summer

So I've given myself a challenge to create my oldest daughters summer wardrobe. She may look back on this summer as her homeliest looking summer of her life but I'm pretty sure most of us have looked back and thought that about our childhood clothing and wondered "what were my parents thinking?" After all I'm number four in the line up and hammy downs were my only option for longer than I'd like to remember. Just imagine my complete embarrassment when my science teacher said to me "Hey, your sister used to wear that same panda sweatshirt when she was in my class in seventh grade.." HUMILIATION. Didn't this man know that I could never wear this sweatshirt ever again and that my social life could very well be in jeopardy because of this comment really the nerve.
Alright back to Little Miss's summer wardrobe so far I've finished three pieces and am almost done with number four.

I came across this cute skirt tutorial on Hickety Pickety Handmade. http://www.hicketypicketyhandmade.com/2011/01/07/no-hem-skirtits-so-easy/ .
I loved making this skirt, I would have never thought of doing this. Little Miss loves it, seriously I'm shocked she's already pulled it out a couple of times and paired it with fleece pants just so she stays warm enough.

I also bought the Brooke dress pattern off of Etsy from Little Lizard King. Her directions were very easy to follow and I love all the different ways to style the sleeves. It allows me to have so many different options. What's not to love about options am I right or am I right. My girls have been loving on both of the dresses I made from this pattern, I have a feeling I'll be using this one often.





I'm really enjoying this new crafting adventure and someday I hope to have some really mad skills.
