I LOVE strip skirts!

Skirts galore!!! I have been making strip skirts for my girls, and now feel brave enough to make one for me! If I keep the waist fairly narrow on mine, it may be quite flattering.

These are done without a pattern, and super easy. They also look great in different fabric strips ( very Bohoemian) , so are great for using up left overs. I have been doing a simple rolled hem on the overlocker, which works well.

I am now officially out of elastic, which shows how much I have been sewing lately. AND, the new OTTOBRE is due out any day!! Woo hoo!

I am trying to learn how to knit...I am having problems increasing. I'll keep practising! Here's a Steiner/Waldorf donkey I made. He's a big wonky, but dd loves him. Next I'll try the pig and the chooks.















Frilly pants from Ottobre 3/2006

The girls want more of these, in lime green. I will make two more of the tees and an apron each two in coordinating fabric. I think I will like these in the brighter colours heaps more: I'm not a mauve person.

I have so much sewing to do!!! And the new issue of Ottobre Design will be out soon!!
