Back in the spring I purchased an adorable top for Y at TCP and also found a pair of darling Capri's there to match it. You can see the set in this picture:
As cute as it is here, the pictures really don't do it justice!
I still wasn't completely satisfied because I desperately wanted to find a solid black skirt to go along with it. I never knew how impossible that could be! All the skirts were brightly colored and not at all what I was looking for, I searched in stores, I searched online in stores, eBay, you name it, i tried it but to no avail. So I talked to my mom and started looking at patterns to see if she could sew a skirt for me. I should add that I was looking for something very specific: I wanted it to be solid black, tiered and just below the knee. Searching on sites like McCalls. Simplicity, Vogue, etc. and I found NOTHING!!!! I was getting extremely disappointed and frustrated and just went to google and typed in something-or-other, probably tier skirt, toddler, pattern and after clicking on several links I hit the JACKPOT! It was love at first sight and since I have absolutely NO prowess when it comes to using a sewing machine, my AMAZING mother agreed that she would sew it for me!!!
I quickly headed for Joann's to look for the needed materials and then decided to have a white one made as well!!! It turned out to be a real labor of love but she finished them and they look FANTASTIC!!! I can't wait to put them on Y and see her wearing them!
Here are the pictures of the finished product:
Thanks Mom!!!
I am super excited and I am sure Y will love them and look completely adorable in them! Love You!!!
