Sewing a Swimming Skirt



I finally had some time to sew!  Rebekah needed a new swimming skirt before we took off on our camping trip.  I used her old one as a pattern to trace around and added a few inches to make it bigger.  It turned out really cute.  I started making it, and then Rebekah and my niece heard the machine running and decided they wanted to make a skirt too.  So, they took over my sewing room when I was tending to Peter.  I had to wait until the next day to finish mine!  But they did a great job and made a cute pink pencil skirt for my niece.  The next morning, Rebekah wanted to make a skirt for herself.  She made a long maxi skirt!  She cut the fabric and did all the sewing, I just helped tell her the next step when she was doing the elastic.  I'm so proud of her!  I love that she loves sewing too!  Lastly, I turned two dresses that she didn't like into skirts.  We did all of this with fabric and supplies I already had on hand, so it was free, yeah!
