Handmade Holidays


This is going to become a weekly post. So, watch for updates. I thought I would dedicate a log of my handmade holiday projects. It will feature a multitude of craft type items. I thought I would give you a preview of my handmade holiday projects.




I've been ready to make these for awhile, and my daughter special requested  a snowman skirt.I cut out three skirts since she is so little and can't wait to get started.

I recently styled a skirt pattern based on a fab book Sew What! Skirts by Francesca Denhartog, who is the owner of Valley Fabrics in Northampton, Massachusetts, and Ann Camp. The book gives you great tips on designing a pattern that fits. If your interested in purchasing the book for your own holiday projects they carry it at amazon. I thought I'd try it out for my daughter. I simply used old newspaper and a pencil to make my pattern.


Check back in and I'll share the finished project.
