This skirt. Oh how I loooove it!!! The pattern is Sandi Henderson's Analise pattern. Patterns scare me. I will admit it. But this one was not hard, and had easy step by step instructions. I am clearly a bad instruction follower, though. I did manage to mess it up. The skirt is supposed to be much fuller. But, I still adore this skirt, and so does Angelina. That's all that matters. :) When I make it again, I will remember what I did wrong, and not make the mistake again. ha ha. It turned out fantastic, and how scrumptious is this Paula Prass Summer Soiree fabric? I LOVE IT! I am thinking about making a quilt with it.

I'm excited I finished this skirt for today's special day! Angelina is now in SECOND GRADE! School started today, and she could not be more thrilled!

I had a photo shoot with Angelina's teacher's son yesterday, and told her about the skirt. She freaked out when she saw it. :) Angelina has the same teacher this year that she had last year. Which is exciting for all of us. We really like her. She and I have actually become friends.

My 2nd grader. My how she's grown so fast! Sigh.



This now 2nd grader read TWENTY THREE books this summer!!! How proud is her book worm mama? More than I can say. This little girl is just amazing. She is smart as a whip, and full of compassion for others. I love her so very very much!




Well, there you have it. *The* Skirt. And how lovely it is!
