A Sewing Attempt


I was totally inspired by a tutorial here.  And, by the fact that Elizabeth loves her "so pretty" Halloween costume dress so much she wears it most days right now.  It's finally been time to give sewing something "girly" a try!  (Elizabeth was too busy dancing to pose for the picture.)

This skirt has two layers.  One that is just a Valentines cotton print, and underneath a layer of tulle with black ribbon around the bottom.  Maybe next time I'll get more daring with more layers and more trims, but it's a fun start!  Mostly it's fun for me to take a little time to remember that I used to craft and sew!
(When Elizabeth wouldn't pose for the picture...Nathan and Joshua volunteered to show her how.)
