mini-me


Today I channeled my 'inner fifties housewife' and wore a skirt. It is HOT around these parts, so I sewed some cool skirts to help us weather the heat . Out of vintage, thrifted pillowcases no less. Approximate cost for the whole project: 75 cents including elastic. This was a trial run, I will be making more with thicker elastic/better fabric. They are very easy, click here for the tutorial. For the locals, Sas fabrics in Tempe has amazing selection/unbeatable prices for elastic.

After we put them on Max said "you look beautiful mom...and amazing, great job!". It is so nice to have my sweet, happy boy back. This gf/cf diet is definitely here to stay.

I wear skirts all summer long in Las Vegas too. Anything else is too hot!

You two look so cute!! I love that pillowcase fabric.

I made one of those skirts too and was amazed at just how easy it was. And as it starts to get really hot and now also sticky here, it might be time to make my second one (and maybe my third too).

Those are cute. I'm not ready for the heat. But is anyone really ever ready for it?
