market skirt

I'm still bad at blogging... 

Anyway, just finished up a new little skirt! The pattern came from Dana, at Made, and I love it! SUPER SUPER CUTE! Check it out, and all the rest of her great stuff. Plus, she has gorgeous photos, and I can never resist that! 

The tutorial is great, because it's easy to follow and pretty detailed. I didn't find it to be too tricky, although I did end up spending a fair amount of time with seam ripper in hand! Although, this is definitely typical for me; I do some really goofy things! 

I made a 'matching' shirt, which was a spur-of-the-moment last decision at 10pm last night. I had an extra plain red shirt sitting around, and figured, why not?!?! In daylight I can see it doesn't really match completely, and I don't necessarily like it with the skirt, but that's ok....

Let's add some more pics...

Ok, here is probably why I hate blogging. I add a pic, and it goes straight up top. Can't seem to move it. Annoyed...

Ok, I have to manually move it within the Html by cutting and pasting. Annoying...Well, moving on...

Here we go... 

I really loved Dana's choice of fabrics for her skirts! But since August is speeding by, and Fall is on the way, I opted for something a little different. Although the appliques on the skirt do show strawberries. Too bad I can't change them to apples!

I also screwed up the pocket 3 different times. The fabric I used had been fussycut, and then it ended up being too small... So, in the end I decided to just do some applique. 

It definitely has its little flaws, but it's still cute! And my Sweet Adeline loves it, so that's all that really matters. She has been playing with that little strawberry girl asian print for a year now, and I have FINALLY used some of it!!!

I think I will try this tutorial again... Maybe in corduroy!
