Sewing Lovely Summer Skirts!

As I was cleaning out my daughter’s closet, I noticed that I needed to make her a few fun colorful skirts for the summer. Living in Texas gets really hot, so I wanted a few easy, breezy skirts for her to twirl around in.

It seems that I can never just go in a fabric store and just leave with the items on my list. Oh no, it rarely happens to me. I always end up buying more than I need. LOL. I know some of you can relate to what I am talking about. It can be quite addictive.

I always like to ask my daughter’s opinion on what fabrics she likes. She loves blue so, there will have to be a blue skirt in there LOL. Of all the fabrics that I had, I made a total of 11 skirts. In which she can easily wear them with a nice colorful or white top. So now she will be all ready for summer. Next, I will be making a few shorts for her to play around in when we are off to the park.

Sewing is fun, it relaxes me and it is a joy to sew for my daughter. If you love to sew as much as I do, share some of your wonderful creations with us or tell me what you planning on  making for the summer.

Happy Sewing everyone!

Sincerely,

    Hi,

    I just had to leave a comment when I saw your post. Your skirts are so cute. I used to sew many of my daughters clothes when she was little.

    I can also relate to the fabric purchases. I’m glad I found your site.

    Happy Sewing,
    Tamara

    That is one seriously cute pile of skirts. Though I have to say, I was hoping for a pattern. I could use all the help I can get.

    Very bright and perfect for summer! I wish I could sew… but it’s not one of my strong suits.

    Oh how cute are these?!? My daughter wears skirts exclusively and I am a sewer…so I am really going to have to try to make these! Thanks so much! 🙂

    I love to sew and have the same problem in fabric and craft stores….always leave with things not on my list and even MORE projects to work on. I have a little boy and have been sewing him shorts lately. It’s very rewarding to see how cute he looks in them.
