I sewed this dark green skirt during Sarah’s naptime. I could hardly wait for her to wake up so I could try it on her.
My cousin Elisha (who knows what I like) gifted me the vintage crocheted pink lace a couple years ago.
I was thrilled to finally be able to put it to good use, as a trim around the hem of Sarah’s new pretty skirt. Amazingly, it was a perfect fit around the hem.
Soft, comfortable, and very easy to make. A child could sew this, really.
The idea was born in my mind as I was getting all set to throw away……….
……..an old t-shirt of Jacob’s.






what a GREAT idea…you are so gifted!!!!
Wow!! Thats really creative Shanda!!! And yes love the trim and how do you have such adorable children???!!

Too cute and a great idea!
love~ i’ll take one please! 🙂
hi shanda…….how thrifty and clever! who says girls can’t wear their brothers’ hand-me-downs!
Cute skirt! I particularly love the first two photos. I remember what fun I had making little dresses for my daughter when she was that age.
Very cute, and what a great idea. Maybe if I cut off the bottom of some of David’s shirts he would stop wearing them!
Enjoy these precious little ones for one day they will grow up and leave home. In two weeks my little ones will be 20,21,22,23 and 23.
I love it Shanda! How clever of you to use the bottom half of Jacobs t-shirt! The pink crocheted lace is the perfect feminine touch and Sarah looks so happy in it 🙂 My computer has been down all week and I am finally able to get around to all my sweet friends and see what they are up to! Hope you are having a wonderful Sunday with your sweet family Shanda 🙂
You clever Mommy! And how fun for Sarah to have something made from her big bother’s soft t-shirt.
