I made this skirt for Busy today. She has started screaming blue murder when we drop her at daycare. This is new to us- she has back molars coming down too which is not helping. I told her I would make her something pretty if she didn't make a fuss. Is that wrong? It breaks my heart leaving her screaming.
She did make a fuss but she wasn't too bad. ( yes she stopped crying before I had even got back to my car) So I came home and sewed. She loved it!
If you feel like making a skirt there are some great tutorials
here and
here and
here and
here and a very
twirly skirt here and another twirly one
here.
All
I did though was cut a whole load of scraps
pieces into strips and sew them together then hem and put elastic through the top. I just got the size from another skirt she has.
oh thanks for all those links I have some perfect new fabric here that wants to be a skirt ...I think.
ReplyDeleteToo cute! Well, she certainly looks happy enough in that pic. The skirt must be some kind of magic ;)
ReplyDeleteIt's beautiful.
I was blogging with someone about this recently. Rather than see it as bribery, see it as a reward for making good decisions. We tend to be scard as parents of bribing our kids but it is a reality of life that there are rewards for doing the right thing... not always, but sometimes. So doing this with our kids is OK... I reckon.
ReplyDeleteLove the skirt - looks gorgeous and thank you for the links, I am hoping to overcome my sewing machine fears soon and projects like these are a great way to start.
