I've gotten back to my sewing machine

I saw this cute dress on Esty and decided to order two kits to make dresses for Juliet and Sarah.  The site is http://littlefishbigpond.etsy.com .  Check out the cute kits she has for sale.  They are reasonably priced, all cut out for you, and all materials included.  You just do the sewing, ( the directions are easy and  well written) and the dress is sewn in no time.  I just love the way they turned out and hope that Juliet and Sarah like them.  The red one is for Juliet and the turquoise print for Sarah. 

This is a skirt that I made for Sarah.  MI daughter had bought some fabric for me to make The Girly Stripwork skirt from http://www.pinkfig.typepad.com a while back and of course I misplaced it in my sewing room.  So I finally found the material and made up the strip part of the skirt, only to find out that the material was not what she had bought.  I should have know when I saw the yellow.  So to remedy the situation MI daughter and I headed to the fabric store to find some kind of  "funky fabric" to save the skirt.  We picked the diamond pattern for the drop waistband and the  hem band and were pleased  with the results.
