Summer sewing...

I thought this year I better start my summer sewing as soon as possible... I don't have too much though... I looked at the girls clothes the other day, and lets face it, they still have many dresses and skirts to wear...
My 7 years old wears school uniform to school... what a shame... so she has very few options to dress nice.
My 4 years old on the other hand, wants to wear only skirts and dresses now... lucky me. But she has so many!!
So I made a list of items the girls needs for the coming summer...
1. two dresses (each)
2. two tank tops each (I found out this item is very much in use... with a proper skirt of course :-))
3. two skorts/skirts each
4. Swiming suit - one per each
Everything beyond this short list will be great...
So I started..
I made my 4 years old a skirt...
It's not made out of a pattern, but rather from a great tutorial right here. I've actually made this skirt at least 10 times, It's the first item of clothing that I've made three years ago, when I had no idea how to read a pattern!
it's always pretty and cute.
Here it is this time...

And I've made two tank tops from a great Ottobrre pattern... But I can't remember which issue... I'll have to check...
we had a great weather two weeks ago, a glimpse of Spring, and it was the perfect time
for the girls to wear their new tops..


I need to post a pattern review on this pattern, a great one!
I also made crochet headbands for the girls... I am not sure they are very practical, but they are cute...




And I've made them costumes!!! On that, on the next post...
