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

OMG I love the skirt!!! It looks fantastic on Kara and NO it's not too much. Great job. Very talented.
Happy New Year to you and Kara! I hope 2009 is good to you both.
Much love from NJ,

oh my god, this is gorgeous. Are you going to make them and sell them on ebay...or just direct to your blog friends? I would so buy them. Divine.
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).

You are so good being able to do that ~ I can't even sew on a button ha ha !!
Love and hugs Tabitha XXX

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
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
Geez wish I had a girl you could make one for. I'd definitely buy buy buy!!!!
ok, then please tell me when I can place an order! love them!
Awwwww the skirt is very pretty, and so is your daughter ! :))
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.
