    Hurray for this post! I had already bought some terrific Ikat fabric for a dirndl skirt, so the link to the checked skirt in the upper right will be very useful. Thanks :)

    Thanks for the this post. I'm going to buy some fabric and ask my mom to sew me some since my sewing skills are limited!

    You're a gorgeous gal, Jess. I never miss a post, but I don't tell you that enough. I can't sew, I'm a shite drawer, I'm too impatient for papercraft mostly unless birthdays are involved, but I never miss a post. Forget orange - How about Jess! x

    With a burgeoning belly this summer, I am all about skirts! These are really cute, and I can even see me trying my hand at making some for my 3 year old.

    Once again, thanks for the links!

    love the blog but don't comment often ... I have a LONG summer ahead of me with all of our friends away and us staying put in Delhi ... so this is WONDERFUL!

    I've just decided, I'm going to Sew the Summer AWAY!

    Thank you!
