Elastic Band Skirt {aka: the fastest skirt you’ll ever make} As much as I try to convince Elli to wear the shorts/capri’s/pants that are in her drawer……….she only gives in about 15% of the time.
And I better have a really good reason to give her…….because “it’s cold out” isn’t good enough. :) I’ve decided to give up on it. And just let her wear a skirt/dress every single stinkin’ day if she wants to. (Who am I kidding? I used to come home from elementary school as a girl and put on the same twirly skirt from the costumes box and twirl in it all afternoon. So what’s the big deal, right?) So, I whipped up a few new skirts this week, to satisfy her skirt hunger……and to shorten my time spent in the laundry room. (By the way, after this post, many have asked how Elli is doing in school. Before making her a few skirts, I told myself I needed something fast and simple. And yeah, having funky elastic sure makes this simple skirt style, twice as cute. Now Elli has 3 new skirts that fit comfortable and are cute and colorful. So quick. -Ashley Related posts: Ruffle Fabric - Home Page. Modern Baby Bootie Tutorial - Tao Of Craft.

Aren't these the cutest!? They are super soft, and super cute! Make one in every color to pair up with a little cute outfit. LOVE! What you’ll need: (Note: I made this pair to fit just right on Jules (2.5 months). T-shirt (I used one purchased from Michael’s, on sale for $2)Glue GunCoordinating Needle & threadCoordinating felt (you only need a little for each shoe, so go digging through your scrap pile!) For this project, I wanted to do AS LITTLE sewing as possible, so for the straps, I trimmed off the finished hem of the t-shirt (be sure to cut as close to the hem line as possible). Cut out a coordinating felt circle (approx 2.5 inches) and sew on both straps (I think the picture better describes the process) Next, create a 5 petal flower template on a piece of paper. Take one petal and fold it in half. Now take your next 4 petals and fold them the same way. Take your last petal piece and fold it in half. And there you have it!
