So pretty!

This skirt is light pink. It looks darker in the picture than it is in person. Very girly! Very soft! Very pretty!


This skirt is teal. On the color chart it is called arabian. Very pretty. This is a very popular color for spring! It looks great with so many colors! White, black, green apple, yellow, light pink, and especially hot pink. I am working on a mini-petti skirt with several of these colors. I cannot wait to finish it. I will post pics soon.

Fun colors!!


This skirt is black with candy pink. I actually made it for my niece at the request of her mom. It turned out amazing!! It was a huge hit at the craft fair!

Robbinsdale Craft/Bake Sale and Flea Market


So the sale was fun. I didn't sell any skirts, but I got my name out and I had 5 skirts to show. Funny enough, when I was making the skirts I was thinking "I hope this doesn't sell because it would be perfect on Ella" and "I hope this one doesn't sell because it would be perfect for my niece." I am okay with not selling any, I really don't want to be overwhelmed with orders. They take time and this isn't a full time business, just a really pretty, fun hobby! :)
I love the way the teal one turned out. I used a little different satin on the waist (a little thicker, not as shiny). I will make a smaller one for Ella and see how it holds up. It should be nice, that satin was more expensive than the regular one I use. Funny enough, the person next to us at the sale was the husband of a friend. He is a photographer, here is his link: http://www.johnfellman.com/
We had a great day overall, even with it being chilly and some cloud cover. People were in good spirits and there was a great mix of vendors and of course plenty of yummy treats and coffee.

Working hard or hardly working??


Yeah, right. I am working hard. Look at my workstation: Organized chaos. I am getting ready for this Craft/Bake sale here in Robbinsdale. It is May 9 at City Hall. I will have a booth with my skirts. My aunt has a space reserved also with all things that grandma has been working on. Gotta keep grandma busy or she'll get into trouble. :)

Ivory Mini-Petti



Newest creation: Ivory "vintage lace" and chiffon over a fluffy layer of nylon chiffon. The top layer of lace and nylon chiffon is from a slip. This is a mini-pettiskirt so it is shorter and intended to go over leggings, pants or shorts. It is a size 2T/3T. I am selling this one for $45.

New Fabric Order!!!

I just ordered more fabric for my skirts. I cannot wait until it comes in! I have so many ideas to get started on and 2 more skirts for my nieces (black with candy pink ruffle fluff). My daughter will be getting another skirt (of course!). I am also starting to make extra skirts for the Robbinsdale Craft and Bake sale on May 9. The hardest part for me is refraining from making only skirts for my daughter!

Here is the color chart from the company that I order fabric from. They have a new brown color that is not listed. I ordered it so we will see. I also ordered a bright purple color that is not on here. I am so excited! :)

Too cute!

I finished this all black skirt for my daughter. I absolutely love it. I like the solid black- it goes with just about anything. We had her in light pink pants and top the other day at Target. We got so many stares and "Ooohh's" and "Aaaahhh's"! Several of the ladies shopping stopped to talk about how cute she was. I just love these skirts!
