Grace's quilted skirt. She was lacking a warm skirt and asked for one, so I found this fabric in the sewing room. She loves it.


and Zoe's leg warmers. She runs around most days in a dipe and a shirt of some nature, her little legs get cold and she hates socks, so I made these with a fine wale courdoroy and fleece.

So cute! LOVE the little leg warmers. Did you make a matching pair? Grace is adorable in her skirt. They are so lucky to have a mommy like you!! I love homespun darlings like your babes. My little girls love wearing what I make for them too. Thanks for sharing!!

Grace's are cut and ready to stitch up tomorrow after our St. Cloud field trip. I got these finished and immediately she wanted a pair. She said I should make a pair for me too and for dad....dad declined the offer...LOL!

How precious! They look so soft and warm. They will go perfectly under a long skirt too!! Are you making some for yourself too?

Tasha,
where did you learn to sew? I know that was a recent post, but I haven't read that thread yet. I would love to learn, especially after seeing all the adorable things you seem to whip out so easily. Any suggestions on where I could go to learn? Jo Ann Fabrics? Your house? just kidding!

I learned in home ec when I was in h.s., but then sorta forgot how but ressureccted it onmy own a number of years ago, maybe 4 or 5 years ago....granted I graduated h.s. in 1998, so only almost a decade ago. i love it. it is one of my most favorite things to do. i dont like using patterns, though I do from time to time. It is fun for me to draft something either based on something I saw or just my own thing.

This week's project is a mermaid tail for Grace.....the requests I get!!

I bet you could learn through a local quilt shop (I shop Joann, too, from time to time, but imho, it is best to learn from quilters- at least the basics-and purchase from them-pricier, but not big box like Joann) or through community education or soemthing...

or just get you a sewing machine and read the manual. a lot of manuals are good at giving direction...

LOVE the leg warmers!! Why did I not think of that when mine were babies. Ahh,,,maybe for the grandchildren when that time comes (hopefully, not for a few years until Maddie gratuates high school and has some time on her own first).

I really MUST get these valentines done tonight so I can get to the sewing machine and try my hand at some quick skirts.
