1 metre 2 skirts…..and another giveaway

Housework just had to wait this morning as I was itching to use the new fabrics! 1 metre of this adorable fabric made 2 quick skirts in under an hour and there are leftovers for some small purses or appliqued tops.


I love this fabric so much and since this is my 501st post (time flies when you’re having fun) I am giving away 1 metre so just leave a comment here. To be drawn Sunday night!

  73. Corrie, These are absolutely gorgeous!! Congratulations on soo many posts. Hope I get to your amount one day. xxx

  74. They are gorgeous. My small granddaughter who turned 7 last week has been after a basic sewing machine for two years. Her parents gave her one and I gave her a selection of girly fabrics in half metre and metre lengths. Tape measure, thread, tin of pins, elastic etc.

    Some of the material had little Russian dolls. So cute.

    I love your materials and when I see how she’s going will get some for her. I means a skirt, just a couple of hems, a bit of elastic and a seam. She’s very capable with her hands and what could be more simple? Just love that “jouons avec moi: print. Her cousin,8, is learning French so she’d have fun with that too. start them early and she’s really keen to learn.

  75. So Adorably cute as always

  76. The fabric is gorgeous. I wish I wasn’t on a fabric purchasing ban.

  77. Gorgeous skirts and fabric! So perfect for a little girl :)

  78. Hi Corrie you are such an inspiration, you have inspired me to get the cobwebs off my sewing machine and start sewing. I always think with three children I am too busy but you have showed me that it is definately possible. The fabric is gorgeous you have beautiful taste!

  79. CarolynF says:

    Would love to be in the draw for this. I thinkn I would make the exact same looking skirts with it.

  80. I just bought Softies 2 and have been led to your shop and blog.

    Beautiful fabric, please enter me in the giveaway! Many thanks,

  81. Those skirts are adorable! I really should make some more time for sewing. Somehow there are so many things taking up my time. I guess I should move sewing up my priority list. To see you whipping up two skirts in such a short time is really a good motivator!

  82. Wow, super super cute Corrie! I want to try it on a smock!

  83. those are the cutest I love them
    love emily

  84. Congratulations! This fabric is absolutely gorgeous!! I would love to sew something for my granddaughter! Those skirts are so cute. Thanks for the giveaway!
