I made three skirts the other night for the
Sewing Seeds for Haiti project that Randi has going on her blog. I've been using
Randi's blog a lot lately. She is the one that I got the
reusable bag tutorial from and also the
quilt a long I am following. No, Randi isn't paying me to plug for her blog, I just think you might like it too!
Here is what she says about the project: "My friends are Mennonite and so are the missionaries. They serve in a number of ways, but they do serve lunch to over 100 schoolchildren every single day (that was the number prior to the earthquake). Many of these kids are now without basic necessities. I am so excited that we are able to help in this small way of making skirts for the girls. "

Anyways, I made three skirts in half an hour and for less than $5! Using thrifted pillowcases made it super easy. I (loosely) followed
these directions and made them according to Sam and Ray's sizes. My husband said that the blue one reminds him of a 1950's working woman and we both agreed that the red one is our favorite.


If you would like to put together a few skirts there is still time to send them to Randi. You can find more details
here.
Your skirts turned out adorable! I still need to get mine together to ship out by EOW.
ReplyDeleteThose skirts are great. I had never heard about using a pillowcase before but it totally makes sense. Great job.
ReplyDeletethanks so much for the heads up on this type of pattern...just up my alley!
