A Skirt For Hospital

I love school holidays, by the end of each term I think I am hanging out for them more than the children.  We have had a nice quiet break that seems to have lasted for ages.  We have had some play dates, caught up with the greatest of friends and Miss S had a short trip into hospital to have her Tonsils and Adenoids removed.

Miss S told me the night before she didn't have anything to wear to hospital and that I had to make her something.  This is just the kind of challenge I love.  With a dead line that close and the happiness of a child hanging over me, I flew into action.   This is the skirt I made for her and I got so excited and inspired I made a second skirt too.  

These are the fabrics I bought back in June, I was struggling to find
the right project for them but this skirt is perfect.
 I use the same pattern/technique as the 1/2 Maxi Skirt - just on a smaller scale.

See this is why I have to hoard fabrics, ribbons and ric rac....

Here is Miss S, chillin' in the Starlight Room before the big chop-o.

This is the second skirt, its much plainer but still really cute.

 Her Op went very well, she was a bit shocked by the pain she was in afterwards and has made a slow but steady recovery.  (Whilst enjoying alot of ice cream.)
