back on the swingset

October 17, 2012 by gail

Unfortunately, I didn’t get all my KCWC sewing done last week. Things got in the way. But had I been able to sew a little more, you would’ve seen a second Oliver + S Swingset skirt.

Not much new to report since I just made the same skirt last week. I still love the pattern. It’s full and twirly and fun to wear.

The fabric is an Anna Maria Horner Field Study print (Sundials in Glow), and I used the same ribbon as last time, but in coral. And the same lightweight cotton lining in white.

I stuck with the size 3T lengthened to a 4, which leaves plenty of room to grow.

And I was all ready to dress it up for fall with tights or leggings, but it was suddenly warm and sunny at photo shoot time, so we’re pretending it’s summer again.

I almost just wrote that Lila is on the fence about her new skirt. Not funny, I know. That’s why I didn’t. 🙂

hahahahaha! Super funny. The funniest. That print is one of my faves right now, and this is the perfect use for it. The design almost changes when it hangs on the bias like that. I love it!

woah! i was going to ask you what fabric you used for that when i saw it on IG but figured i’d just wait for the post. i had no idea the sundials looked so stained glass window-ish when you step back and see them on a garment! really really gorgeous skirt.

So I laughed out loud at your “on the fence” comment – so definitely funny:) Isn’t this a great skirt pattern? So twirly and just hangs so nicely. I’m sure Lila will be on the side of loving it before you know it!

That photo of Lila holding the zinnia and wearing her fun handmade skirt is probably, actually so beautiful! Definately picture frame worthy!
