After sketching this skirt design, I couldn’t decide if I wanted to make one for me or for Lyra.
Lyra wins this time. 🙂
The skirt is in the shop.

Patchwork Hippie Skirt
Lookie! A hippie skirt! 😀
I love it. It’s so big and pretty.
The prints are so random. I keep finding a new favorite patch.
I’ll be able to make just a couple more in custom sizes that look pretty much just like this one, with similar prints and colors. Here’s the listing. 🙂
Do-Si-Do Skirt
I sewed this knee-length skirt up in some pretty vintage floral fabrics. It has a country western feel to it, so I borrowed some cowboy boots for the photographs.
It has a huge amount of twirl! Square dancing, anyone?
The skirt is in the shop! 😀
The Patchwork Toddler Bed and the $15 Bedding Set
Lyra’s new bed is completely finished now. You can see the original bed post here.
My first instinct was to go with white bedding, because of all that color on the bed itself, but I talked myself out of that pretty quickly. I doubt white bedding with a toddler would end well.
I managed to make this bedding set (fitted sheet, comforter, two pillows, two sham pillowcases) for $15, using a couple of tutorials from Prudent Baby and some store bought bedding supplies. I put together a little how-to, click the link below (or read on) to see it! 🙂

Duck, Duck…GOOSE!
Isn’t this fun? I *loved* duck, duck, goose! I used another great David & Goliath print (and I’m already feeling the need to hunt down more of their awesome knits).
I have enough of this fabric for one or two more, so it’s in the shop.
