It all started with these little pants.
I wanted to sew some pants, to go with the sweater that I knitted for the new baby. I googled baby pants and found this free pattern. It was sooooo easy.
I really have no sewing experience, except that I know how to sew a straight line forwards and backwards. That's it.
This pattern is easy to understand and she even gives you a picture tutorial if you need it. I so badly want to find some nice flannel and make some more of these. It took me less than an hour. It is a nice feeling to finish a project in less than an hour. A knitting project takes me months.
Anyhow, Amelia sees me sewing and is very interested. She finds my little fabric stash and wants me to make her something. Feeling super confident after finishing the easy pants, I figure a skirt would be even easier.
You know what? It was!
I made this into an apron skirt. I have seen them around (aren't they cute?) and have always wanted to buy some for my little girls but I always said, "Heck, I can make one of those."
I didn't have a pattern. I measured around Mia's waist and from her waist to her knees. I allowed some extra for a seam allowance.
I cut out a rectangular piece of fabric and hemmed the edges for the "apron". I sewed it on while I was making the waist band.
So, now I have orders for three more skirts :0) . I want an apron skirt. But I think a forty year old woman in an apron skirt might look kind of funny.
Am I right??
