Bonjour!
Here's my second entry. A skirt for Miss Lily Moon.
I bought the "air mail" and plaid fabric from this lovely shop and the pretty little doily from this shop. The lightweight denim is from JoAnn's. I've had the fabric for some time and I have been jumping back forth what to make from it. So when this challenge came about, I thought it would be darling to make a skirt. The design is mine. No Pattern. I'm most certain, just by looking at it, you can figure it out and make one too! Super-uber easy and quick to whip up. The only part that took time was embroidering the sweet message, "Bonjour ami!" ("Hello friend").
Oh I can't wait for Lily to wear this. Pair it a sweet sweater, scarf, tights and brown boots... Aaaa!!! Just too sweet.
Now this isn't the first skirt in this design...
I had made these in early summer.
I love to put a contrasting fabric on the inside of pockets. It's like a little smile hiding... waiting for you to see.
Oooo... there it is again...*smile*

I designed this skirt with my girls in mind. I love having BIG pockets for their DS or their Ipod. It's also a nice size for Lily to tote one her little dolls along.
I've pondered whether or not to do a tutorial on this skirt, but like I mentioned earlier, just by looking at it, you can figure out how to make one. Hmmm... what do you think? Is a tutorial in order? Let me know...

And so my dear friends... what will you make today?

I would love a tutorial! It seems easy, but for us beginners a little help would be welcome. :)

As soon as I saw these skirts I knew that I had to make one for my daughter......she loves it! Thanks for the awesome idea. I would love to share a photo of the skirt that I made, but I'm not sure how to do that.

Sophie is the cutest baby ever!
