Part of last week we were having quite a heat wave, and being both a weather whimp and pregnant, I decided to stay at home hibernating in front of the air conditioner.  It’s been a while since I’ve done much sewing, so I decided to put my home time to good use and make some skirts. Here is one of six I made in a two day period. The fabric is thrifted vintage (as are most of the fabrics I use for the skirts I make). It has a stretchy elastic waist and full skirt, so that it can fit a lot of different sizes (I labeled it Size 1X-3X).

 

I am also excited that I was able to do a photo shoot! Pregnancy lately has been a kick in the butt. Today was a good day and I tried to put it to good use with pictures and a trip to the gym. Think positive that there are more days like this in the near future, before baby comes!
