Ruffles anyone?

I have just finished these three adorable little pink and green tulip print girl's skirts.

I love the way inspiration links with happy childhood memories - a key area of Lillipilli Lane inspiration.  

My two sisters and I had a little peasant dress each - all in the same fabric - an oh so cute cotton rose print - we thought they were marvellous - especially for three 'tom boy' country girls.

These darling little skirts and more like them are on their way to Lamb Chop Stand Out From The Flock - the exclusive online shop...pop by soon as they will go quickly!

Certified Organic skirts

Here we are, the completed product of two handmade 100% certified organic skirts. Matching mamma's and daughters Easy-wear skirts, I have been wanting to do a matching set for ages - they look so cute together!

Each entire piece is 100% certified organic - fabric and thread. The Fabric is 'Harmoney Art' from Organic Fabric Online http://www.organicfabriconline.com.au/ and is very soft and wearable.

The organics are a little different to sew with than conventional threads. The organic thread has a textured quality and runs through the machines differently than non-organic cotton thread. It has been great to sew these up and experience the art of sewing with these beautiful and environmentally responsible fabrics.

I have enjoyed getting to know their characteristics and doing some more wares. Any one else had experience sewing with organic fabric and thread? Love to hear about it. Drop me a post...
