frantic Easter sewing complete!

I think this is the biggest sewing project I've taken on, except for maybe Halloween of 2008, after which I didn't sew for at least a year. That was traumatic. And I do need a little break after finishing this one, but then it's on to another project!


I love love LOVE this bubble skirt. It's reversible and so easy! It took me two nights to finish two of them from start to finish. Bravo, Tanya, on a great pattern and a fabulous tutorial!


I LOVED this fabric.  Here is a close-up:


And here's the other side, along with a close-up:



And here's the top (aka the bane of my existence for the last two weeks:)


It's Simplicity 2429, and a lot of work.  But maybe I'm just not good at working with these kinds of patterns.  It's done, and I do love how it turned out. 

And this post would not be complete without some pictures of my lovely ladies in their outfits! (Monogrammed posy clips by my awesome friend Kerryanne)


(I <3 this one because Will is playing the harmonica so intently. )






My GOODNESS, I love these girls.  I love my boys, too; they're just harder to sew for.  :)  Yay for Easter outfits!

ADORABLE. You did a fantastic job!

I saw these on fb but hadn't realized you'd MADE them. You are getting good, girl! They look great! I still don't attempt "normal" clothes, just Pioneer ones. I think I got too much "Did your mom make that?" growing up. But, it wasn't cool back then!
