Skirts for Amaree

On Wednesdays my cute sister in law watches Amaree while I work at either home or at Utah Kernels. Today I finished work way before Amaree was home so I used that time to create some skirts for the little princess.
This first skirt I made out of leftover fabric from a quilt my Granny made for my mom. It turned out exactly how I pictured it!
Th top layer is only connected near the elastic casing. 

This next skirt I made out of a pink polo shirt my mom used for an 80's themed party. I just cut the bottom off, added elastic then sewed pockets with a little lace on the top. I didn't have any more pink thread so the white thread is clearly visible (as well as my sewing flaws). I then made the flower out of some of the leftover shirt fabric (pink) and the white is some leftover silky, white fabric I had from another old project.
She loved the pockets!

    Wonderful work Madie! And I see Amaree is on her way to being a Rock Guitarist with Uncle Phil's electric guitar! :)
