Wee…. wee….. skirt

Hello 2011! I can’t believe it’s another year, so a recap of my crafty life in 2010 -  I started sewing for my little girl in May 2010 and made 7 little dresses, one T-shirt refashion and joined an online bag making competition, you can view all of them here.  I am pretty happy with projects so far but I wish I have time for more, so I hope I can accomplish more in 2011 and destash my fabric collection so I have reason to do more online fabric sprees, wink wink!   And a BIG thank you to all who left comments on my creations, I really love to read your comments and do keep them coming :)

I started off 2011 with a light but very gratifying project.  I made this Wee..wee…skirt from Hickety Pickety Handmade’s No Hem Skirt…It’s So Easy tutorial.  I love the tutorial as it is easy to follow and I really like the idea of the contrast band at the bottom of the skirt. 

I call it wee..wee..because I think the skirt is so tiny! The dimensions of the skirt are only 36 x 9 inches, and it fits my nearly 1 year 5 months old (but she’s really a bit small sized for her age compared to the other toddlers, and this is my current source of stress! She rarely stays still and doesn’t like to nap, that’s why it’s so difficult for her to grow meat!). 36 inches is because that’s the maximum width of the fabric I have. This is another utterly awfully cute fabric.  It is “Giggle Feathers by Robin Frederick for Studio E’. And I added a yellow solid band at the bottom.

I gotta trim her bangs, but this willful little terror who won’t let me do it!
