for her band recital. She had outgrown hers...so Maw came to the rescue.
I made her this skirt from my "sewing for children" book. It is the anja
skirt pattern. I have made it 3 times for her, as it really works well.

I could not just do plain ole black..So, I cheated and added the white/black
print fabric for the bottom tier of the skirt.
Adorable skirt and beautiful grand daughter!
ReplyDeleteThankyou Stacie.. Very proud of her..
DeleteShe looks adorable
ReplyDeleteThankyou Rachel.. She is a sweet girl..
DeleteIt is lovely! I remember being in 8th grade and looking everywhere for a black dress for a concert. We finally found one, but it was so big that it still fits me today!
ReplyDeleteEmily is lucky to have you sewing for her. :)
Thankyou... I too remember having to have a black skirt for a Christmas play ,our school was doing at the Mall.. Couldnt find one, and mine had to be pinned on.lol
DeleteSo..was very happy to make this for Emily.. And she is always so appreciative..
Good Morning Judy!
ReplyDeleteOh, she is just too precious! I can remember these days...all three of my sons played in the local school band...Joshua plays the clarinet and Samuel and Daniel play the baritone horn. Black pants and white shirts were their dress as well! It is so difficult to find dress clothing for children nowadays...Emily is so blessed to have you!
The sun is shining here on the coast this morning and it is simply beautiful on the ocean!
Hope you are having "sunny days"...I think of you often, my friend!
With love,
Laura
Thankyou Laura, Emily plays the saxophone.. She loves band. She had a black skirt from the year before, but it didnt work this year.. So..you know, Maw was so happy to make this for her..
DeleteIsn't it sad that they don't make pretty dresses [rarely] for children anymore? If you see one, it is so indecent.. sad!!!
We are having pretty weather too.. Getting really hot fast.. Our summers are normally really humid, so that is kinda bad. I bet the ocean is beautiful. Such a beautiful place to live. You are very blessed.
Have a great day my friend.
that is so sharp! She looks so pleased, too. Well done, Maw!!
ReplyDeleteThankyou Margo.. I think she was pretty happy with her new skirt.. So proud to have those sweet grandaughters to sew for.ha
DeleteA really cute skirt for a really cute girl!! She's so lucky to have a grandmother like you!!
ReplyDeleteThankyou Debbie.. She is a very sweet grandaughter. I have 4 grandaughters. I love sewing for them.. so fun..
DeleteThe skirts lovely you did a really nice job!

DeleteThis skirt is cute. I can fit a "kid's skirt" haha. Can I borrow the pattern please? =)
