Alice Skirt

 Little Lizard King asked for some pattern testers for this apron skirt and also asked for some name suggestions. Mine was the Alice Skirt. Whether or not that becomes the name, that is all I can think of now when I look at this adorable skirt!

Here is the skirt that I made with her pattern:

 This skirt is both playful and sophisticated and is so fitting for my 7 year old.

She fell in love with this Art Gallery fabric the minute I brought it home from the fabric store and has been begging me to make her something from it.

This skirt was the perfect thing to make, don't you think?

 I love the secret pop of color under the apron:)

Here's the back of the skirt.

Playful.

Sophisticated.

We are in love with this skirt! I will be making more for sure:)

Reversible Boy Vest

This is a little late, but here it is! I got to be a pattern tester for Little Lizard King's Reversible Vest in size 12-18 months. I told her I could do it and then it seemed like one thing after another got in my way. Sorry!!!

First we had a 2 day garage sale that took me days to prepare for and then several days to recover from. I was on the couch with a heating pad for 3 days after the weekend.

Then I got the vest cut out and sewed together only to freeze at the "add buttonholes" part. I have never done a buttonhole and I am so freaked out to get it wrong and ruin my adorable little vest!

I was waiting to do it, so I could practice a bit first, but just haven't found the time.

So today I decided to take a few pictures and show you what I've got. Buttons will have to wait.

Getting pictures of a very active almost 1 year old is hard to do! I took a ton and most of them were blurred or were of his rear end as he crawled away from me while laughing.

Stinker.

But then I caught this sweet moment with his sisters baby doll. **sigh**

Right after I snapped this he threw her on the floor.

Boys.
