Promised Pictures
This was fabric I bought one late night online from Fat Quarter Shop. This is the Treetop Fancy for Free Spirit. Online it looked like it would be such a cute skirt and in reality...so-so.
Abe thinks the aqua band at the bottom doesn't match. I told him it does, it's the same line, and really it's staying that way!
Leigha got to pick from Treetop Fancy or this Moda Sultry, and her pick was the more pink of the 2! From the directions I added an extra row and only went 6 wide. Leigha's only 5, and with the band it's mid-calf, so I suggest measuring your child first (which I did NOT do with Eve and ended up reworking her skirt, which still needs a little adjustment) and go from there.
She mentioned her ties seemed short and wished she cut them longer. I cut mine the same length as the directions and added a leftover square to the end of each tie.. that way it had that pieced look like the skirt and was a bit longer.And now because I'm terrible at getting the girls in for pictures... when it was one child no problem, but as we kept adding it seemed more and more forgotten! I need to get a 5 year picture of Leigha for in the living room. These were taken at the park at her school picnic. Which one is your favorite?
It's kinda blurry and off center..wish it would have turned out better!
Loved the clouds, but is the hair in the wind to crazy? And I'm not sure how much it looks like a smile.

What seriously sweet skirts, I want one! :D They are darling.
I love the pics, they're all too cute, but I have to say the one on the swing is very sweet.
That skirt is cute but your daughter is the star! I even like the "fuzzy" pic.
Makes me wish I had a daughter to sew for. What a cute skirt!!
Fuzzy pic. Off center makes it better, I think...
