Circle Hi-Lo skirt on a Plaid Dress

This is over at Winter Wonderings Wanderings and Whatnot, for Suzanne's Operation Project $0.  Go show Suzanne some love and look around for some $0 sewing.

I wanted this to be really comfortable, for anything from apple picking, to snuggling in for a good book on the couch.
I maintained the natural theme with the tan bias tape and wooden buttons.
I wanted it to have a really girly "lumber jack" feel to it.


She looks pretty cute running away with her sailor boy :)
This is Scary's little guy, and she made this outfit for him, for our Grandpas funeral.  Isn't it terrific?

The skirt had to be a full circle for swinging and dancing, and with all of that fabric, it had to be a hi-lo, so she wouldn't trip.


I can't get over how cute these pictures are.  Scary took them for me, after our Grandpa's funeral.  It is so nice to have them as a keepsake.   I love sisters!
thanks for stopping by,
with love,

    Ah that is lovely! My daughter loves circular skirts - and the tartan (as I call it, given my Scottish roots!) is so beautiful and simple!

    That dress is so sweet! I think you made a great call going with the tan bias trim. It adds so much!
