stuff i did yesterday when i should have been doing other stuff...

null
charlie saw this skirt on my sewing board on pinterest...
null
so we whipped this baby up.
not particularly successful, the tutorial is horrible...
but charlie loves it enough that i'm going to play with it until i get it right.
we're going to go hunt down a very stiff, structured material first
(i don't like to commit to nice material until i've tested a pattern out)
so that the bow will have a bit more oomph.
though, look closely at the picture -
i think that little girl is holding up her bow for a reason.
sigh.

gramma messed around with it yesterday and a 3x kimono wrap
with a tie in the front looks amazing -
but charlie was having nothing to do with that -
so back to the drawing board...

i'm going to figure out this skirt if it's the last thing i do!

I love it! Put some stiff interfacing in the tie, that should hold the bow up pretty well.

So cute! Love everything about it! Sets higher up on the waist, stiff, structured shape, awesomeness.
