This is for an almost 7-year old for her upcoming birthday. In the past, I have had to make the homemade gifts on the sly, because they are the hardest for Sadie to give away, but I finally got smart and had her help me decide what to make and out of which fabrics, and all of a sudden it was no big deal. Duh. Well, now I know. They keep you workin', them kids!
The skirt was from this pattern, again, and the bag is just a canvas one I got (in a 5-pack) and made a fabric patch for. This was one of those projects where the skirt was super easy, but the bag really sucked. I had to cut the side of it open to stitch the heart on, and then sew it back up, and I thought I was being so clever using a pre-made bag, but after fighting with it, it would have been easier/quicker to just to make a matching bag, but oh well. It's still cute!
These are my helper fabric fairies. We got a big ol' stack of the blues/browns/oranges from the new Katie Jump Rope line from the lovely Cia at her extra lovely shop online.
I haven't been leaving the house much, so I don't know where they have the new fabrics here locally-I will let my way less pregnant friends who actually brave the fabric shops with kids in tow help me sleuth that out in the comments-
