summer wardrobe
:: two green skirts :: made over the weekend during the boys' afternoon naps :: used Erin's twirly skirt tutorial :: adding this dress to my summer wardrobe would probably be overkill :: but then I would match my favorite little KC girl :: maybe this skirt and dress instead :: and this dress :: now if only the weather would warm up ::
all the wonderful shades of green. the skirts look perfect of the weather we are expecting these next few days.

Green is my favortite color, and this shade is really spinglike.

I made a little twirly skirt for N and it was so simple and cute, I've been thinking of making one for myself too!
Your version in green is fabulous. That color will be great on you, Sally.

Well, green is very in right now, so I don't think anybody can have too much green.

Is Katie Jump Rope out in the stores now? This green is fabulous. About how many yards did you need for the adult skirt version? Looks so comfy!
