I Love It!!!


I was starting to catch up on some blogs recently (still haven't though.....) and I spotted a divine skirt on Aria.... I've given up on searching for one in Miss K's size AND I have vowed to stop buying things that Kara just doesn't need. Soooo, the next best thing is to try to make one :)

I have some gorgeous Oilily and spotty fabrics I want to use but thought it best to practice with other (less expensive) fabrics first. Kara has a thing for blue of late, so she helped choose these ones.

I'm so happy with it ~ it's adorable on and it's inspired me to finally get sewing again.



What do you think? Do you think it's too much?

YOU ARE AMAZINGLY CLEVER!!! OMG!! That is beautiful!!!!

I can't wait until you make the Oililly one!

Happy New Year to you - may this year be a peaceful and special one for you and your darling girl.

I am so glad the Santa letter was a hit. My kids too couldn't believe they were at the top of the good list! LOL

Awww thanks so much guys :)

Yep Jen ~ that's the plan .... I just hope they sell lol. It's hard to get motivated when there's a chance it will all be for nothing. I have heaps of fabrics that are waiting to be used ~ heaps of spots and florals (and Oilily).

Hi Vanessa!

Thanks for stopping by my blog! I was so excited to get your comment. I know one day I'll get to live my dream...like Kara. :) What a great memory for both of you.

If you sold these beautiful skirts on ebay I would definitely buy one for my daughter. Please keep us posted when you do.

Much love from NJ,
Sue

Do you have this in pink? said...

Love love love it! Now hurry up and make the Oilily one.

Ps, I got Kitty a nwt Oilily 'Kimono blossom/floral whatever it's called' dress in the red the other day on ebay from the states'! You can guess how excited I am!

pss, you know how I have the matroushka bag? Someone has it in the backpack NWT's for $550 US. OMG!! Makes me want to part with mine and list it too.....nah! You know it would be easier to just send you an instant message with all of my chatterings.

Love em

Wow this is very gorgeous! I don't understand why you don't give yourself more credit. You obviously have a talent for creating with fabric. I'm sure the Oilily one will look just amazing. You need to believe in yourself, take that step and create more. Find your joy and people will buy them. Stuff like this sells for a bomb on Etsy.
