the "I have nothing to wear to church" skirt

Occasionally Lu still "lets" me sew for her.

Occasionally.

Like when she got up this morning and hated all of her clothes and proceeded to eyeball a cute retro dot I had in my glass front cabinet. Sadly, I only had a 1/2 yard for a purse project that never materialized, and had already ripped said half yard into two 18 x 20" pieces.

Lucky for Lu, she's small. I didn't even alter the ripped rectangles, just seamed them on the sides, added a narrow elastic waist, and a narrow hem. (I really did pull off that hanging thread later.)


Yellow Cat: Are we still doing this?


Lu loves leggings and throws them on under everything. She wore black flats to church, not zebra flipflops. Oy.

Had to add one of my awesomely cute woven labels to the outside. **Edit for MaryBeth and anyone else who wonders about the labels. I have used Fancyweaver for a couple of years now for woven labels. They ship really fast (from Hong Kong), its very affordable (200 custom artwork, color, woven labels --not printed--for $60), and you can choose pretty much any Pantone color, any TrueType font and they will match it. Most woven label companies charge astronomical fees to do custom artwork, and most have huge minimums. He also carries sizing, content & care labels for a good price (and you can order custom font/color for those too!)


Matching fingernails? Bonus.
