Last Saturday, however, I saw a skirt online that I had to try for Kenna. I thought is was so cute and it was made from a t-shirt. This is how it turned out.

Some Sewing
I've been good friends with my sewing machine lately and it's soooo much fun. I've broken into the world of quilting a little bit. It's harder than I thought, all that precision cutting and perfection. I've just done some small projects and I'm still pretty frustrated when everything doesn't turn out square, but you have to start somewhere. so far, I've done this pillow and a table runner for my mom and Mike's mom. I didn't take pictures of the table runners, darn it. I am also working on a runner for me.
Last Saturday, however, I saw a skirt online that I had to try for Kenna. I thought is was so cute and it was made from a t-shirt. This is how it turned out.
I decided to add some flowers to a white t-shirt to go with it.
I think it turned out pretty well and Kennadee seems to like it too! It's a good thing I have her to sew for. If you want to see the original. it's here http://lukeandhailiegirl.blogspot.com/2010/06/jcrew-diy-skirt.html. Enjoy

Very cute! Both the outfit and the model :0)
I bet the runners were cute, cause your little pillow is darling! fun fabric. Choosing the fabric is the fun/hard part...
Pretty good sewing for an "old lady".
Kenna is a cutie and the outfit is adorable. I admire people who can sew. I was never any good at it. My sewing machine died about a year ago and I didn't bother to replace it!
I thought I wanted to make quilts when I was about 18 and made a sad and sorry applique fan thing attached to a sheet. It was awful. (I think Aleta may be saddled with it)
I now have great admiration for those with the skills and patience!
Kenna's outfit is great! The flowers to tie in the top to the bottom are a super addition.
One thing about being "old"... you get to try things you never thought you would be interested in, and it doesn't matter if they are perfect or not. It just feels good to do it.
If you are like me in any way... that whole fabric buying thing can become a compulsive addiction.
I love it!
Just whipping out those sewing projects.
Are you like me and just don't want to clean up the mess, so you just keep sewing? That is what I do.
Des-how did you guess? Clean or sew/ Not much to think about
So I totally copied you! I LOVE the skirt!! So very very CUTE!! Thanks for the idea and link!
Fun projects! I want to see the table runners, too :P There are so many tutorials out there...a bit overwhelming. Glad you've been enjoying yourself.
