Here are a couple of skirts from the pattern "Cute Skirts" by Favorite Things Pattern Designs. I bought this pattern last year through Hancock's of Paducah catalog, and I finally got it made now. The green one is a repro retro print left over form the bloomers under Little Girl things. The other is a Heather Bailey "Freshcut" fabric line piece. I lengthened the skirt panel piece to cover my compression hose. I think I want to add a contrast small ruffle to this pink one when I come back from camping.

Clare...you look beautiful! You did a wonderful job on the skirts. Ruffle or no ruffle I think it looks very nice!!

I love the skirts, you did a great job. Your little man is sweet, he reminds me of a little boy in my Sunday School class who calls me Miss Teacher. My daughter wants me to attempt to make us some skirts. Maybe sometime I will, but you should be so proud of yourself because they look so nice.

Thank you for all the nice comments, ladies. Yes, it is always good to have a face for a person. So, next time you post, post a picture of yourself with your item or wearing it. I want to see all of you, too!!

About this skirt pattern, it is easy enough for even a BEGINNER as it has just a facing for the front and elastic through th back. You get a perfect fit yet it looks smooth on the front. I used my serger to finish the seams, the second one went so fast as it did not have the flounce on the bottom.

There is something so nice about wearing a breezy skirt in the warm weather. It is finally warm enough to do that here in NE PA

You look really good in your outfits. The tops you chose go perfect with your pretty skirts. And I love the expression on your little guy. What a cutie!
