Sisters Sewing Skirts
Here are my daughters getting ready for spring by sewing skirts. One isn’t really into sewing so she wasn’t that eager to be included but you can sort of see her.
We are all going to have some cheerful colorful skirts anyway although not thrilled about the brown polka dots. I do love skirts in the spring though since they’re so breezy and cool.
For some of your own skirt sewing ideas, see:
- How to sew a wrap skirt on Crafzine.com. I love these but don’t think my daughters will.
- Going Sew Crazy has a tutorial for making twirly skirts for girls.
We seem to have jammed the machine so will have to show the finished product another day. We used an “easy” pattern that you can do in an hour. Yeah, right. I tore the house apart looking for pliers since I couldn’t get the needle out otherwise. Now that it’s out, they’re all in bed.
Boxers for Boys
The boys can get some breezy boxers or shorts. That will be fun shopping for fabric for those. It’s the small things in life. 
Stitches and Seams has a tutorial on boxers and Thread Banger shows us how to make boxers from pillow cases.

I don’t know what it is about spring but it seems to get my crafty creative juices flowing. I also finally cleared out the entranceway, put up a new mirror and am feeling the urge to paint. Happy spring.
