Shop Update Monday – It’s good to be a girl

Well that skirt I was making last week was just an epic fail:

Seriously. Awful. Everything is crooked, it’s way to small on her, and there is entirely too little tulle for the effect I was going for.

And of course when I tried it on just to see how bad it was my child refused to take it off.  Of course she did.

What? I don’t care if you have “craft” issues. It’s fun to play with the tulle.

You're never taking this off of me, mom.

I also feel the need to point out here that her current favorite toy is a shiny, pink purse I bought her at a used clothing sale for 10 cents.
Her pink purse is filled w matchbox cars
She fills it with her matchbox cars.

You know who else I think could rock pink tulle while playing with cars?

Miss Annie Oakley.  So her colorway is now available for the first time ever here on Etsy.

  7. Hey, hope all is well for you! While I'd agree with the above comments that "fail" is in the eye of the beholder, I just saw this tutorial and thought of you:
