Saturday I had a few things to do at work so I took Allison with me. Here she is sitting primly at my desk. The expression on her face makes me laugh.
The only thing I got done in 4 days was this little skirt I made for Allison. Shelbie and I purchased the ruffle fabric when we were at quilt market in May. It is sold online, too, at the ruffle fabric website. The skirt was so easy. I measured how long I needed it on Allison and cut it 32" wide. Then I gathered the top and used my double needle to stitch the fabric to the elastic waistband. After that there was just one seam down the back. No hemming. Imagine that.
I have a few different colors of the ruffle fabric. I think little pants for Allison made from ruffle fabric would be cute. I may have to do that next time.
This is usually my view of Allison since as a nearly 2 year old she seems to have unlimited energy. We took her to church with us in her little skirt. That was something!

Absolutely adorable! The skirt is so sweet and those shiny little shoes! I give her an A+ for fashion! I'll bet it was interesting being at church with a nearly 2 year old. :-)
Nanette, she looks just like your pictures when you were young. Such a cutie! I've been hearing all about the ruffle fabric presented at Market. Love the skirt.
She is such a cutie! I love the ruffle skirt!
Such a cute skirt - oh, love the silver shoes! Fashion diva.
I too was laughing at the look on her face. What a cutie! That skirt is perfect.
Love her determined little stride. Super love you. xo
what a super cutie!!!! She's adorable (and so is the skirt!)
Also - how DID you raise 8?????!!!!!
Ohmygosh -- that's adorable Nanette! Makes me wish I could be little just so I could wear a skirt like that!
Cute ruffly pink polkadotty skirt! Perfect for a busy little girl on the go!
she's getting SO big.
:)
Oh I love that expression! She looks so grown up...like she should have that binky in her designer handbag instead of clipped to her shirt ;-)
Thanks for the ruffle fabric reminder. I never did get any.
That skirt is just as cute as it can be, and so is Allison! I know what you mean about children though, there is a reason they are born to younger women!
Cute skirt! Cute Allison too! She is getting so big. I hardly recognized her.
That is a funny expression on her face at the desk, kids are so hilarious sometimes.
I finished a skirt over the weekend too, but it only had a couple of flounces and no polka dots :)
This is seriously cute fabric for a cute little girl! I adore your skirt Nanette!
Cute skirt. I'm totally in love with that ruffle fabric!
