weekend sewing
I was so happy to find myself with some motivation to make this cute shirt and skirt for Ellie. You may remember I made a similar shirt for Penny and it is just SO fun and summery.
The pattern is Butterick 4118. The pattern also comes with a really easy pant and short pattern that I have made in the past. I’m still quite the beginner and I do need a pattern, but not necessarily the directions!
I made her another “swing” skirt…the same shape as the one Penny was modeling on Friday. I used a biased tape tp create a more finished look. This photo doesn’t really show the shape, but check out the fun sandals!
Honestly, I think the time it took me without interruptions was about an hour and a half…probably shorter, but I am really bad at estimating time because I think I always sub-consciously think of being interrupted or distracted.
Okay, well…so long. I’m off to cater a party and I predict it will be a tiring one! It’s 92 today with lots of humidity! Welcome Summer!!
