I found a cute skirt from Flirtee and decided to recreate it. I found a few patterns in my collection for my Inspiration. Both patterns I measured medium and they’re both FREE! A good starting point is the Patterns for Pirates Peg Leg shorties and the Patterns for Pirates pencil skirt. Shorts under my skirtContinue reading “A Ruffled Golf Skirt”

Summer Skirts
In the summer I live in running skirts, I run in them, but I also just wear them because they are so comfortable. I have so many, but I always want more choices, probably so I don’t have to do laundry more often. When I ran across this skirt on Pinterest, I knew the exactContinue reading “Summer Skirts”
Mermaid Dreams

Sewing a garment takes time, and my time is worth money and IContinue reading “Tricot – It’s not tricky, tricky, tricky, tricky”
