I love the snow, but I am so over it! I am itching to get outside and get my hands into some dirt and plant flowers here at this new place! Now that we have had sunshine for two days for the first time in 4 months, I am really anxious for Spring! Since I can't get outside yet because it is still freezing (though today and this week it'll be in the 50s!), I am getting into projects here inside.
That being said, this morning I had a sick, sleeping baby, and anywhere from 30-45 minutes before he wakes up. I also had spring-y scrap material and a little girl that needed a new skirt!

Yes, I know, I should have done the dishes, cleaned the kitchen, vacuumed, put laundry away, showered, or done something productive like that. But, when that's all you do all of the time?! I needed a break.
So, let's get sewing!
I came up with this! A bubble skirt!
I had no pattern, just a measuring tape and a 3 year old who thought that when I took her measurements was the perfect time to twirl and pose. I've had this going on in my head for a while since seeing a few tutorials floating around on the 'net, and planned on taking pictures to chronical my steps, but as I stated above, I have a half hour and didn't take the time. Maybe on the next one! But usually I sew 'close enough' and with the attitude of 'I can fix it if I mess it up, let's just get it done.' So, I'm not sure photographing my steps for you would do much anyways...eh, I'll try in anyways. But, I digress...
"Elli, I just want you to know that you have the coolest Mom in the world."
"I wish my coolest mom would hurry and finish my skirt."

I am pretty pleased with how it turned out, an I think E likes it too :)
I think I might need one for myself.... Hmmmm....

That is so cute. How did you bubble the bottom? Elli is looking more little girlish and less toddlerish all the time!

Wow, good job! I could never make something like that, even if I had a pattern! haha :)
