Snow days ruffle skirt

Since we were snowed in for a couple days with wonderfully awesome weather, I decided to finish up another project that I ran across that I thought was to cute NOT to try. :) If you want to give it a shot yourself, here is the link to the tutorial over on Sew Much Ado.

So far I have not been lucky enough to catch my rugrats together long enough to photo them both wearing their concoctions but I will get one yet!

My first dress to skirt

Here is the next little something I have been contemplating for quite some time. Finally finished! This dress started out as a dress that daughter 2 wore for her baptism. She was older and crawling/walking when we baptized her, and thus this dress ended up torn quite badly. I have thought about finding a way to give it a new life, and I must admit, I think it is even more cute as a skirt than it was as the dress!

It took me longer than I liked once I was started, but as I went I realized that there was a bit of hand sewing to be done if I wanted it to look nice. Granted it is just a little skirt to play dress up, but big sister has some pretty fancy dresses, and I figured she deserved one that is just as nice.
