free as a bird gypsy skirt
I've been resisting the urge to purchase some of MoMo's Freebird fabric pretty much since it was released. So I was delighted to have an excuse to buy some - I just didn't have the right fabrics, or the right quantities of the right fabrics, in my stash, to make a cute skirt for a two-year old. So I was off to a new-to-me fabric shop, where I bought a few bits of Freebird, and whipped up this cute skirt in two evenings:
Pattern: Gypsy Skirt, from Making Children's Clothes by Emma Hardy

Yay! I love how the colours work together (something I'm not always good at choosing). The pattern was straight-forward and easy - just lots of patience and time to get the gathers right.

And holding a balloon. What could be better than a balloon and a new twirly skirt?
Happy Birthday Lila!

That looks so cute on her! I have always wanted some of those fabrics too but I'm trying to control myself because my husband noticed I've gotten a couple packages lately ;-)
