But I'm here today to publicly announce that I was wrong - very, very wrong - because I freaking love this skirt!

| That's O very kindly giving you an unobstructed view of her new skirt. How kind.... |
I love the pockets and the ability you have to make them "pop" by cutting them out in a contrasting fabric.
I love the little kick pleat at the back (which was so incredibly easy to make).
I love how it has a nicer looking flat band in the front but some elastic in the back to allow for a great fit.
I love how easily the pattern came together.
Oh, and I love that apparently it provides the perfect outfit in which to do yard work.
In fact, I would have to say that there is nothing that I don't love about this skirt. It's just an overall love fest around here.

Carolyn, she is just toooo precious! I especially love the pic of her bending down to smell or look at the the flowers. And the skirt is perfect, along with those boots! What a hoot!
ReplyDeleteThat is a very chic gadrening outfit. I love that skirt and it looks so cute with the top! I also love how little kids will bend way down to smell flowers, she is precious!
ReplyDeleteLove, love, love the fabric in the pockets!
ReplyDeleteSometimes the simples shapes just are the most beautiful - especially with funky pockets. Pockets in general. Does your daughter love pockets? Because if I make something with pockets for my 2-year-old, it's a winner! :) Your little one looks adorable.
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely week and happy sewing!
Too adorbs for words!
ReplyDeleteCute! I love the half-elastic waistband as well.
ReplyDeleteAdorable! (the outfit you made adn your little model)! Now I think I have to buy the Sunday Brunch pattern - I was on the fence! I love how the little details just take it up a notch.
