Annie's Skirt New Pattern and Fab Tues!

  A few matters of business today.  A new pattern, a Pattern's Only winner and Fabric Tuesday! Phew!  Let's do this!

Last year I shared with you some skirts I made for baby girl.  

They're reversible. And I loved them.  So I made some more :)

This time I added some patchwork to one side.

One simple side, one patchwork side.

They don't fit her yet otherwise you know I'd have Lucy pictures all over :)  The ones I made for her are 18-24 months, for next summer.  Turns out I overdid it on her wardrobe.  Surprise surprise :)

I got a lot of great feedback on the skirts last year so I decided to make a pattern. Annie's Skirt is available in our shop so check it out!

Sail Away Skirt

Introducing!

You know how much I've been making little girl's clothes lately! And Sarah Jane's Out to Sea line has been so inspiring for me!! I am so smitten with it!

And thus our first skirt pattern, Sail Away Skirt.  Sizes 6-12 months through 5T.  The little pink anchors skirt is 6-12 months and the navy ships is a 4T.  I seriously cannot wait to put that little pink one on my baby girl! The front has the sweet sailor pleats and buttons and the back is gathered with a cute little tie.

Isn't Heather's Sophie so sweet in it?  It fit her perfectly and I was pleased :)

Hope you like it!!  This pattern is available in our shop!

Here are some of our great sponsors that are or will be carrying this precious Out to Sea fabric line!

More GIRL and Fabric Tuesday #88

Because of Memorial Weekend I decided to announce the winner for our minky blanket giveaway from The Minky Boutique on Friday...so you've got a few more days if you didn't enter yet.  It is seriously such a sweet blanket you must take a minute to comment if you haven't :)

Next, if you didn't see my post on Friday where I had an announcement and shared some sweet little dresses (hint hint) I think you should!!  :)

It's Fabric Tuesday and I have more girly-ness to share...it's getting out of control and I can't stop myself. If I didn't need to use up all this fabric it would be a real problem. I go to sleep and wake up thinking of all the girl dresses/skirts/blankets/quilts that I want to make!!

I told my husband when I finished this last night that it may be the prettiest thing I've ever made.  I am smitten with this blanket!!!

The ruffles??  And birdies and roses and...I'm so loving this!  I got this fabric called Tweet from Skye Reve Fabrics a bit ago on a whim thinking "If I have a girl..." and I am so happy that I got it!  The fabric came just as we found out the baby is a girl :)  It is a great size, about 40" square.

Yep, backed in the snuggliest minky from my LQS.  I took a nap with it today.  Seriously. I made my husband snuggle it for a while too :)  This morning when I excitedly pointed it out to my 3 year old son, folded in a corner so you couldn't really see it, I said "Look at the cute blanket I made for the baby!" He took a quick glance and said, "I know already." Ha!  Boys really don't care about this stuff! That's why I have this blog right??

And then in the last week I busted out some skirts too, I'm trying to advance my clothing skills since I haven't sewn clothing much.  These were sooo simple.

 Coral Floral: Lark by Amy Butler

Cream Floral (above) Red Bouquets (below): Millie's Closet for Riley Blake

Gray Circles: I'm pretty sure it's something like Metro Dots for Robert Kaufman...anyone?

I also got most of these from Skye Reve Farbics

Isn't the trim sweet?  I got it at my LQS, it's just ruffled tulle.  Okay now hold on to your coffee mug, or chair, or dag/cat.  I've got a little surprise.

SNAP!

Oh yes I did.  It's two skirts, they're reversible :) It was so cute to make these and my boys actually did think it was cool that the skirt could flip and change entirely :)  There you have it for now!!
