Sew What.........A gingham skirt and a Lucille Ball look, that's What!



Well today my sister got in on the action. She’s wearing my “I Love Lucy” gingham skirt. I had a few yards of gingham left from another sewing project and I decided to make another entry for the July's challenge for the Monthly Stitch. I decided to make a skirt since I was already sewing a few other skirts. This is a self-drafted skirt with a split in the front. Since the skirt is super simple I decided to add a little fun with the pockets. I made these half circles and added white piping and a red button. Like I said it was super quick n’ easy skirt that you can make in under 90 minutes. She is wearing pair of DIY pumps that I made for a gingham outfit, during the “Rippin Ain’t Easy “sewing competition. When I finished sewing this gingham all I could think was Lucille Ball……Waaaaaahhhhh!

  4. Thanks everyone! I got some likes although I think I got fired from any further modeling gigs- plus the pay wasn't great..just joking- always a good time with the family and when pictures involved it's too comical. Thanks for featuring me ;0}

    1. Thanks so much Carrie [I totally forgot to tell the bloggers I visited that I was there by way of Two Uses Tuesday!] I am enjoying making and sharing, although now with the blog I'm making so much more than I did before. My husband is not too happy about that.
