Firecracker Skirt - a PDF pattern!!!!

Wow! Eep! Yay! Hurray! 
It's out!!!!
The skirt pattern that started fumbling around in my brain months ago is now ready for the rest of the world to see, sew, wear and enjoy!!!!!

The good news is that it can be made and worn by women and girls alike!
That's fun, right? Buy one pattern and you can make it for every.single.age.
I like that about this skirt too.

I would definitely suggest giving this skirt as a gift; especially if you can sneak your best friend's waist measurement and her favorite skirt length from her!

So here's my story behind the Firecracker skirt:
This fun full skirt is definitely fit and flare. Hugging you at the waist, but plenty of room
for leg movement. (Who doesn’t love movement?!) This little skirt is a breeze to make
and includes an optional lining slip version too. Simple shirring at the waist adds comfort
and ease. Wear your Firecracker skirt with sneakers for a casual look, or wear it Sunday
morning with espadrilles for a bang. Add pom pom trim or vintage lace around the hem
of your skirt for a special touch of uniqueness. 
After all, it’s your skirt; don’t be afraid to let it sparkle!

Special thanks to my sister, Abiah, and our three best friends, Faith, Jane &
Becky. Just because the four of you brighten my world. I love you. Happy sewing, y'all!!!!  XO Abi

Right Choices.

We had the best time! Friends, siblings, corn maze, hay rides, Kettle corn, tire swings, cave exploring, old barns, a super fun slide, basketball, Tether ball, and hours of great talk! 
Really. The best choice! 
Go when you're in the area and when it's open!!!!
(It's just too sad that it can't be open all year round!)

Everyday Sundress - a PDF pattern!

Everyday Sundress! 

Complete with women's sizes XS - XL with full size pattern pieces,

A terrific pattern for a beginning sewist who wants to venture past the
simplistic elastic waist skirt.
The beautiful thing about the Everyday Sundress (and all of it's easy views) is that
it's flattering to every figure type.

Sew! What are you waiting for?!

sunshine while we spent the day together. 
happy sewing!  xo, Abi

             Special thanks to my friend, Sam, for mentioning in passing the word ‘sundress’ while we were talking about possible patterns and when I was racking my brain to find a name for this design. In turn, I liked the sound of the word so much that I just had to use it! After I made this tunic in knit, it only seemed right to stick the word ‘everyday’ in there too. So the Everyday Sundress has him to thank for its proper name! And so do I.

Huge thanks to my friend Sophie of Smile For Sophie Photography for the 
gorgeous finished project photos and the wonderful video!
