New Year's Skirts

So I dropped the ball on Christmas dresses this year (And neighbor gifts. I guess I can't do Christmas cards and gifts in the same year...) But I thought hmmmmm.....I'm on to something. Hailey really doesn't care for the fancy dresses anyway. And since I am so not fancy, I decided we'll do New Skirts for the New Year!

Has anyone tried shopping for girls lately? There is nothing in the stores worth my money. Especially when it comes to Sunday clothes. My solution: make our own.

This is Emma's new skirt. Not that she was in desperate need of a new one...but isn't it cute? I saw the pattern here and have been dying to make one for months. Hailey and I made a trip out to the quilt shop this week and found the perfect fabrics.

Here is Hannah's (OK, so I actually made this for Hailey's birthday last month. But the problem with e-patterns is you have to make sure it prints to scale...otherwise, instead of making a size 10, you'll end up with a size 6. Oops.)

Hailey really does need new skirts and dresses, so here is the one we have finished so far. I'm not done with the matching headband yet.

So now I have caught the bug (Thanks, Mindy!) and I have several more planned. Maybe even some for me!
