Home Made Skirts

As mentioned before, we school 4 weeks and take 1 week off the whole year through except for Christmas where we take 2 weeks off. We also give ourselves a day off on our birthdays 🙂

I usually take the 1 week break to catch up on chores, let the kids do some crafty stuff and/or bake if inspiration strikes 🙂 . Well, at the last break, we re-did our study and installed wall-to-wall cabinets. That involved lots of decluttering, dusting (scratch-scratch) and re-organising.

And to just up the ante, I decided to sew some skirts for the girls which they had been bugging me for. So sweet that they actually want me to sew them skirts, right?

And so in the photo you see some of the skirts I sewed for the girls. I sewed 11 skirts (4 in yellow floral print, 4 in black floral print, 2 in black and 1 in pink floral) in total for 4 out of the 5 girls. It took me 1 day to cut the fabric another day to sew them all up. All with a crawling, clingy baby at my side. It was erm..challenging. And I swore never to do it again till the baby is 2 years old! 😀

I even tried to sew patch pockets for the yellow floral print skirts. Not too bad I must say for someone whose only sewing lessons was way back in the early 80s in Home Economics class which made me cry coz I was just so bad at it!

But what really makes me feel all warm inside is is that the girls inevitably pick these skirts to wear for Church. And it is so cool to see 4 of them trotting out of our home in a single file. Although I still stand by my decision not to sew anymore till the baby turns 2! 😀
