Lazy days skirt....

I've been sewing!....I haven't done much sewing since I started scrapbooking...well clothes anyway...most of my sewing these days is on layouts!


But last week I saw this very easy-to-make "Lazy days skirt" on Mel Goodsell's blog so I thought I'd make a couple for Kiara......she loves them 'cause she's skirt-y/dress-y kind of girl!! LOL!












There is no pattern as such...just follow the simple instructions which you can download HERE.

It's super easy to make...and very inexpensive!!


We are doing a massive clean-out of Kiara's room today....she asked me the other day if we could change her room around and I agreed. I think she wants more floor space to play in which she doesn't have at the moment with the furniture arranged as it is. So it's a good opportunity to clear out the old, unused stuff and chuck out rubbish and bits of broken toys etc.
She also wants her feature wall re-painted hot pink....luckily Daddy has some paint we can use, in the shed!! LOL!


I also bought a white wicker chair for Kiara's room yesterday...I'm going to make a cushion for it from some of the leftover fabric from her quilt cover and pillow cover I made earlier this year.


No scrappy shares today....didn't really get to do any scrapping this week...maybe this arvo.


Time for a sandwich and then get back to the clean-up!


Enjoy the rest of the weekend peoples!
