Lazy Days skirt sew-along

One Crafty Mumma is hosting the "Lazy Days skirt sew-along" this week, and I thought I would join in.

The Lazy Days skirt pattern comes from the very clever people at oliver and s and it was very quick and easy to make. I was even able to do a bit of stashbusting, using part of a jelly roll and also some yardage. The only purchase I made was for ribbon.

Little Possum has been a willing recipient of my sewing efforts and was happy to road-test the lazy days skirt:

garden play and exploration - Pass!

trampoline-bouncing - Pass!

while I was at it, I made a head band with leftover strips of fabric and elastic. Reversible to match either skirt. "Once you pop, you can't stop"...... and so it is with "headband-mode"... I quickly whipped up a couple of headbands to go with the school summer uniform.

I think I have made some good efforts towards the October challenge here!

it's getting a bit spooky around here....

Today.....

I should have done this: But I did this:
(the light is funny..... the fabric is actually white....) This is a drawing that Little Possum made. She drew a princess and a castle, both will be turned into stitcheries and LP wants them made into a cushion.

There are a million things that need to be done around the house today. But.. in line with Carli's prompt, I spent the day re-energising in nature with good friends. We did not make it to nature untamed but had a pleasant time in a park stitching, talking and listening to our children playing in the nearby bush trying very hard to catch some wild rabbits.

Now that we're back I have an hour to do my June Cleaver best to clean and cook dinner.
