Pretty quick pillowcase tutorial (& bonus french seam instructions) Lesson Plan: World's Easiest Skirt. My sewing skills are pretty much limited to making my machine go forwards and backwards with a straight stitch.

This lesson plan comes largely thanks to Susan of freshly picked, whose incredible and much more lucid elastic-waist skirt pattern you can find here. The first several steps are hers, and are much easier to understand on her blog.

He found himself a couple of really nice things there last week, but this is totally besides today's topic. I decided to give the fabric ones a try. You'll need: Baby Life Quilt. Sewing.
