carnival is a coming...

It is skating carnival time once again.
The last while I have been very busy cutting, pinning, sewing and serging skirts
for 10 very excited girls.
Once Bugsy's skirt was done she decided to model it
and try her waltz jump in it
Seems she is all of a sudden looking a little bit older than before.
She wasn't this big last year was she?
The skirts were actually quite easy.
I modified a skating skirt pattern by eliminating the casing
and sewing the material straight onto black elastic.
Simple and easy!  And so glad they are all done!

I am in awe of your daughter's skirt! It looks so beautiful and professional! I've been looking for a spring skirt lately, but am having a hard time finding one that's economical, young, and work-appropriate. :-\ Wish I could sew like you!

P.S. Gretel goes by so quickly if you know how to cable without a cable needle.
