I think my kids are hovering around the same age... although a lot of their projects are made from fabric they pick out in the clearance section.Tanit-Isishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15824217102632813598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7351864927910092883.post-33823245104681541512011-11-12T19:16:04.978-08:002011-11-12T19:16:04.978-08:00Cute skirt.

I'm sure she highly approves! The contrasting fabric inside is a nice surprise.<br />I'd noticed that about blogger too. Sew-4-fun's advice was good, might have to try it out. However, I managed to zoom in on your photos in the lightbox format too.<br />btw, my daughter is at the stage where she has as much spent on her fabric as I spend on my own :D Leftovers are more of a challenge now....!Carolynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03156106727490224625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7351864927910092883.post-64993502174393912202011-11-08T05:52:33.075-08:002011-11-08T05:52:33.075-08:00I really like the colourful fabric lurking on the ...I really like the colourful fabric lurking on the inside of this cute skirt.

I was inordinately pleased with the short-shorts I squeezed from some denim scraps for my 14 year old - small pleasures!<br />The post child's 7 and pre adult size 34/6 are not great for girls patterns IMO. I used mainly old TopKids, Burda(envelope) and Jalie patterns, finding the big4 generally sack like, although we did have some success with a few of the Lizzie McGuire simplicity ones.kbencohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00885068563358776147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7351864927910092883.post-49121406610909225262011-11-07T18:55:30.991-08:002011-11-07T18:55:30.991-08:00Oh, I feel your pain - was making a skirt this pas...Oh, I feel your pain - was making a skirt this past weekend for my daughter from some scraps I had leftover from another project, and just barely managed to have enough. And she told me that she wouldn't wear it at the same time that I was wearing my dress (from the same fabric), anyway. I've never been much into "Mommy and Me" match-y dressing, but clearly she is over it. <br /><br />The good news is I that she hasn't complained about me refashioning clothing for her that we find at the local Goodwill store. :-)ChristineBnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7351864927910092883.post-31108024869879814292011-11-07T17:39:11.462-08:002011-11-07T17:39:11.462-08:00That is a cute skirt!

My girls are so big now I don't get anything less than 2m! <br /><br />BTW, I clicked on the photos and they opened in a new screen much bigger.sophiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07636900902408572349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7351864927910092883.post-61352843468289407762011-11-07T16:36:42.348-08:002011-11-07T16:36:42.348-08:00Nice skirt.

Ye...Nice skirt. I like the contrast on the inside.<br /><br />Yes Blogger has changed the way photos are viewed. The default is the new lightbox (?) format I think they call it. When we click on a photo it opens in a special screen. At the bottom left is a link to the original photo in it's original size, so yes we can still zoom. It just takes more clicks. <br /><br />This is the way it is on all blogs unless the blogger (you in this case) changes it under the settings. If you prefer the "old" way make the change in the settings. It's up to you how we view your photos. :) HTHSew-4-Funhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03340344934860568228noreply@blogger.com
