New addition to the easy wear skirt range


Hello everyone here is the finished piece...

I really love these rich, warm colours matched with this wide natural look cream coloured lace.
Have a close look at the lace detail in the photo below - the way the shadows cast through it - beautiful...I also sewed a couple of wooden buttons onto the front to embellish the already fabulous patterns.

Thanks to the fabric artist for the inspiration. I will do a few more skirts and other wares in this range. Keep an eye on my coming website, and Made It online shopfront.

These Easy Wear skirts are great for girls to wear whatever they are doing - whether its helping with some carpentry or wearing to a party! 100% cotton is comfy to wear and long-wearing and materials are sourced locally...

The spotti-dotti twirling skirt
I love this little skirt - it's made out of a soft poly cotton, with bright coloured spots (or is that dots) in pink and red hues. It is created as a full circle skirt, so perfect twirling capabilities for little girls who love to twirl, and don't they all.

My girls love this skirt - in fact the youngest has two it's such a fave, she got sick of waiting for it to come out of the wash!

I added a sweet little 'lettuce leaf' edging on the hem, so it waves and ruffles. The elasticized waistband is adjustable as the little one grows. I aim to make the skirts (clothes) so kids get at least two seasons wear out of them...It looks pretty dressed up in vintage wears, or as a modern skirt...dressy or casual...A big thanks to the ladies at ODDZanENDZ of Noosa (fabric shop) for their continuing generous advice on technique : - ). They are very accomplished sewers and provide a range of dressmaking services as well as fabric sales.
