My baby has a slight obsession with nibbling on my fingers. It’s both adorable and unsanitary; two words summing up my experience with motherhood thus far.
Anyway.
I finally finished my Easter skirt, just in time to wear on Mother’s Day. It’s a light lavender and white striped seersucker, so very summery and easy to wear. I used vintage Simplicity 9807 , View 3 .
Obviously I changed things a bit, such as omitting the entire top of the dress and coming away with just a skirt. Tricky. I put an invisible zipper in the back, skipped the buttons in the front, and stole the sash-tie-belt from views 1 & 2. And that’s pretty much it. 
Happy Mother’s Day to me! 
And speaking of skirts, those crazy kids over at Crafterhours are hosting their annual Skirt Week. Prizes! Tutorials! Inspiration! Good Times! And rumor is they’re even going to let me judge. So go check it out and get sewing some skirts

It always amazes me how you can take a pattern, see something else in it, and then actually create that something else. Good job! And the baby in your arms is a definite crowd pleaser.
That is super cute, the perfect combination of vintagey and springy! Cute yellow shoes, too :).

Cute skirt! The waist tie makes it perfect.
PS: My 5 month old daughter has the same finger obsession. =)
