Circle Skirts

I've recently embarked upon the journey of making skirts.  It all started when I was at the fabric store and found some really cute fabric that I thought would look fabulous as a skirt.  So I grabbed it up and set about figuring out the proper measurements and a good pattern. 

My first attempt...

After that one, I just had to go back and get the same pattern in green.



and I love it.  It is now her most worn item of clothing.

After that, it became an addiction.  I went shopping and bought a ton of fabric to make skirts out of.


 yeah.  I wasn't kidding.  a TON.

I made a couple of big girl skirts out of the silver scroll and peace sign fabric.





(My sister playin with Mercy.  They kinda like each other.)

And some of the little girl skirts I've made.











They are adorable and I'm absolutely in love with them all.  I plan on making a ton more, and Mercy and I are going to pretty much live in them all summer.

The little girl skirts are listed on my etsy right now, fabric is limited so better snag em fast!

Hi Blog!

I've been pretty busy lately, running all over the place with friends and sewing sewing sewing.  Miss Mercy is doing wonderful, we ordered her new big girl convertible car seat earlier this week, just anxiously awaiting its arrival now.  Shes going through the delightful stage of tossing her food off her plate, it certainly makes meal time interesting. 

As for sewing I've been pretty busy.  I've got 7 soakers currently in stock at Have Mercy! and am working on some Sans Pants to put up.  I've also been making newborn fleece pants for several of my friends who are expecting.  I am enjoying making pants much more now than when I first attempted.  I also made a diaper cozy specifically for the gFlushies.  The pants and cozy match the sling I made for the Momma, I'll need to get a picture of her with it, perhaps after her little one joins us. 


My model was very cooperative.  No wiggly or squirmy or moving around to make the picture blurry!

Matching pants and cozy.....


Sans Pants!

Hope everyone is well, thanks for stopping by!

Dear Blog....

I apologize for my neglect.  I have a good excuse.  Well, not really.  I've been running around with friends, and when I'm not doing that I've been, ya know, being a mom.

I do have good news though!  After much procrastinating and dilly dallying I think I am finally about ready to open my Etsy shop.  I have been turning this idea around in my head for MONTHS, and I think I'm just about ready to put it into action.  Well actually, I've already put it into action.

I'm going to sell wraps....

and slings....

and diaper cozies...

and Sans Pants...

and soakers/diaper covers.... 

 

and hopefully soon, as soon as I work up the guts to try and make them, fitted diapers.

Here is a peek at one of the possibilities for the banner. (Right click, View Image, to see it larger)


I'm so excited!
