So I did some "birthing" last night.

Lots of it.

Thankfully of the sewing variety and not the baby variety!!

Flipping little coasters right side out does remind one of childbirth though.

Disturbing.

It was time again to make the forty coasters for an annual retreat group with the theme "Stinky Feet Retreat" this year.

Hilarious, huh?

So I went with high heels and coordinates.

I hope they like them and that they have a great retreat.

Pleated Skirt

This afternoon was a bit of a "I'll do this to pretend I don't have to do that" kinda things...

I should be packing.

We move THIS Saturday.

I have packed maybe 10ish boxes.

Instead, I sewed this little skirt for my little who.

I could pretend that I needed to use the materials up so I didn't have to pack them... but that would hardly justify the time.

This was a nice and quick little project though.

I'm working on an outfit for "the boy" right now too.

Baby sizes are VERY inaccurate.

This thing would fit an 18 mo. old easily.

Based on the weights in the pattern sizes it should have fit him now. Grrr...

Happy girl in her new skirt.

Note the high heel "clickity" shoes in the fabric!! (Red Essentials Studio E fabric)

My little who has an OBSESSION with these shoes.

She even managed to get me to buy her a pair of high heels. :)

Birdies Skirt

This post is for Grandma.

She called me all excited one day about some awesome new Studio E Essentials fabric that was for sale at my LQS and asked how many yards I needed to sew a skirt for my little who.

Nevermind the fact that she can sew... :o)

And I finally got pictures of her wearing it.

I convinced her by telling her she didn't HAVE to smile.

LOVE those ruffled shorts underneath!
No panty exposure!
I'll get a picture of the other skirt asap... "p" being the operative part of that.
