Emma Stylin' - Retro Rainbow

I made Emma this skirt yesterday from some of the remnants left over from the latest batch of Retro cushions (yes some new designs coming soon). There was no rhyme or reason to the fabric combination, but I think that's what makes it so special. Emma seems to like it.
Just like most of my sewing projects, this one started with some scraps and remnants. I have a sewing hierarchy: scraps, remnants, small pieces, then as a last resort, yardage. Waste not want not, is my motto when it comes to fabric.
Did you notice Emma's 'bandaid'? She had an 'injury' and hurt her arm. Because real bandaids are reserved for blood only (yes I'm a hard ass like that), we improvised and I whipped up a sewing room special. I feel a faux first aid tutorial coming on...

Happy Black Friday! I'm inspired now to make use of my remnants of leftover fabric. I noticed the binky your daughter has. my daughter has the same one and at night when she's sleeping, I always do a double take because it looks like she's puckering her lips.

What a great skirt! And I love the idea of a crafty first aid kit!

i forgot to add re: band aids...my goodness we are going through these suckers at an alarming pace at our place and there is never any blood to warrant them! a reusable pretend band-aid sounds perfect.

I want a skirt like that too! It is adorable. I'm hard as well - no blood, no bandaid. Although i do sometimes give in as bandaids are the perfect placebo sometimes.
