February was a surprisingly productive one, considering how sick the entire family has been, and we were in Canada in the beginning of the month. I took advantage of our stay-at-home days and I went through all the girls' clothing, donated/consigned what we didn't want to keep anymore and took inventory of what the girls need for spring/summer. Then I decided what I could (and am willing) to make, and what we need to purchase. Holly loves dresses and skirts and almost never wears pants (shorts she will wear). I made her a couple new skirts, and put a longer elastic into one skirt I had made her at least a year ago - it was always on the snug side. The skirts were quick and easy to make and I lined them. I used a tutorial, which I can't find. It was so easy, I had to look at it only once and I didn't keep a reference to it. Skirts are always so simple and quick. Holly loves the results, especially the matryoshka doll skirt - she chose the fabric back in December. The fact that she was willing to model them for me to take photos is huge. I don't even care that her shirt doesn't match!
