Ahoy!

Thare she...sews?

That was terrible.

But this skirt isn't!  It's awesome.  And its for my future sister-in-law, Patty.  She is having a pirate-themed 1st birthday party for her son Logan and requested some sea-worthy duds for her and Chloe (Logan's older sister).

Chloe's dress was my first foray into the world of childenswear.  And just because they're smaller does not make it easier.  I actually bought a pattern for this one.  I haven't used a store-bought pattern since I made my first dress alongside my Aunt Janie when I was in 7th grade.  And now I know why:  too many rules.  I'm more of a 'fly by the seat of my pants' sewer.  I hope that doesn't make any potential clients nervous.  Chloe's dress will be ready soon!

I tell you, I cannot WAIT to have a daughter so I can dress the two of us in matching outfits.  Or a son - whatever happens, happens.
