I had an old friend (well she's not old but we've known eachother for a long time) come on Wednesday til Thursday. We had a great time chatting and crafting. In less than 24 hours we managed to get to Fabricland, make a scarf and a couple of skirts!
I had tried making a scarf with this grey jersey I had but my first attempt didn't look so hot so I tried it like I saw on
this tutorial and it worked out great. Very fun - I'm sure I'll wear it often.
We made the skirts using a pattern in the book
Sewing Clothes Kids Love. This one is mine using some cordoroy I found at a Thrift shop and some other fabrics I had...
This is Karen's using the fabric I just bought for a little jacket (I guess I'll have to go and get some more :) and the underskirt is some thin curtains I had from my sister.
We both hope to add a bit more detail before they're all the way done!
Thanks for coming Karen! I had a great time!
And now I get to look forward to Alisa coming in 4 days!!!
what a fun time with a good friend. you are so lucky, and your projects turned out great. i love that scarf!
ReplyDeleteCute scarf! I posted about scarfs today too. It must be scarf day. The skirts are adorable! The girls look like they enjoy them just by the way they are standing.
