New mamma's easy-wear skirt

Here is my latest cute mamma's skirt. Its a full gathered skirt so is a bit twirly and fun. Lightweight, cool, pretty fabric. I have added a little gathered pocket and ric rac trim for fun and a nice big retro style button. Gathered at the waist for ease of fit. Can be worn at the waist as above, or at the hips as below. This one is happily waiting a new owner at Handmade Heaven http://www.handmadeheaven7.blogspot.com/ with the second of only three blue linen long skirts (below) all slightly different.

More Vintage*Retro skirts for mums

Here are some more fun vintage and retro inspired skirts I have been whipping up. This mid length Easy-wear skirt one above is from some beautiful vintage fabric I found on my trip at a wonderful little vintage shop called Shop 55 it also has an online shop. The yellow gingham is my tribute to the ever smiling and sweet Doris Day. The long length Easy-wear skirt is made from blue linen with appliqued pocket and is my pioneering mothers tribute : -) These skirts have headed down to the lovely hand-made shop Handmade Heaven.

Here are the materials, whats next...

My next challenge...to make a shoulder bag (Carry All) in black & brown, nothing too fussy or pretty for a lovely lady to wear whilst shopping for goodies for her collectables store.

Here are the materials I bought, a hard-wearing black cotton drill, to give the bag some weight, and a soft brown linen...It will add a really nice texture and it will fray well! I do love to fray...Add a cute little button and we are on our way...

Stay tuned over the next couple of days to see what these goodies turn into : -)
