Skirt night!

Jenn and I made skirts on Sunday! We've both been wanting to give it a try for quite some time, and finally got together to do it. She had some beautiful green flower fabric, and I had some Tula Pink fabric that I bought just for a skirt. We set to work. With me knowing how to do a zipper, and her knowing about the warp and weft of fabric so it would hang right, we managed to each make beautiful skirts.
*how do you pose? I am such a bad "poser"*
Thanks Jenn for a fun night! Look at this cute skirt!!
* I stood on my kitchen chair to take this photo, haha!*
At church I am now working with Young Women, ages 12-18. It's been so much fun so far. For their birthdays I am making them Scripture Totes. I just kind of winged it using ideas from the multiple bags I've made before. The girls really liked them yay!!

Love your skirt! I used to make them often. You have me hankering to do it again.

You are adorable! It really did come out so cute. ^^ I'm dying to make another one. I can't believe how comfortable they are. The only thing missing? Pockets. I might have to figure that one out.

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE your mini tote bags. The green feathery one is super awesome adorable!

I was just made YW president in our ward. I would love to know how you made your bags. Do you have any kind of pattern or tuturial. I am so bad at "figuring things out!" I think they would make great birthday gifts for our girls next year. Thanks for your inspiriation!

Your skirt turned out very cute and I love all sorts of bags - great job! I'm glad you were finally able to set yourself up with a little sewing space of your own. It was a gradual progression over years before I got my own sewing room when we moved to a bigger home. For some years my husband and I shared an extra bedroom, he had his office area in one corner and I had the opposite corner for sewing. It's important to have a little space that is just your own I think. Enjoy you new space!
