Redondo~ a WIP

I decided last night that I would make my two girls a skirt each to wear to my mums today when we went for a mothers day afternoon tea.  I've had this gorgeous pattern for awhile now, tucked away in my sewing cabinet until I felt confident enough to try it out.  This was another pattern I thought would be difficult and fiddly.  Well I was right, it was fiddly, but difficult- not really.

I was pleasantly surprised at how quickly it came together too.

 Unfortunately I didn't get them finished in time for my girls to wear them , I still have to put the elastic in and hem the skirts ( rolled hem on both I think would suit just fine) 

Hubby caught me photographing them earlier and said " Hey, you can't blog those yet, you haven't finished them!"  But I am bored, there is nothing on tv, I am too tired to sew tonight and too sore...  So here are my WIP redondo skirts

plus here is the 2nd pair of shorts for Fletch- another WIP as it still needs to be hemmed and the waistband put in.  This was made from 2 fat quarters I picked up at a local quilting store last year.

little funky side tag made from farbenmix ribbon

Speaking of fat quarters......

I participated in the April FQ swap over at Crafty Mama's and this is the lovely package I received from "a little spunkiness" -Claire

Thank-you so much!  I can't wait to craft something up with them.
