I often forget that we are a business that gets stupid busy right around the holidays. And then there we are, and I'm all like, "Wow. It's been a week since I've blogged. How did that happen?"
Anyway, things are good and busy. Which is well, good…and busy.
But I took a little breather from all the chaos and forced myself to sew some skirts today. Neko had a complete meltdown this morning because we were going to force her to wear actual PANTS, and lordy, the tantrums followed shortly thereafter.
I've struggled finding good skirts out there. You know, ones that don't say "princess" on the butt or are bedazzled into oblivion. A while back, Soulemama posted about an easy-peasy skirt, and I thought I'd give it a whirl. I was impressed with how it was actually really very easy. Free pattern courtesy of oliver + s, which you can find here.
I made one just like the pattern, and then also the one above, where I pieced together two different fabrics. It upped the difficulty factor slightly, but I think added a bit of zing. The skirt was really for Neko, but Ellery happily wore it around for a while.
On a side note, I'm so sad because this pink robot fabric is no longer available anywhere I look. I'm fairly certain I will never find pink robot fabric ever again, which is a complete bummer.
The third photo is the laundry I totally ignored while sewing skirts. If my children are a little wrinkled the next time you see them, now you know why.
