My 7 year old son is sewing one of these skirts for an entry into the fair, his pay-it-forward project for school and the skirting the issue event. He thought ripping the fabric was really cool, and it was MUCH easier than having him try and cut it with scissors!Erickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07835686628879103735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7613688387765487017.post-32674523198783810232012-07-23T22:48:14.847-06:002012-07-23T22:48:14.847-06:00once again you have created something totally uniq...once again you have created something totally unique--something i sometimes think impossible in the age of blogs and Pinterest. ;)<br /><br />love it.<br /><br />xoMrs. Cropperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11702337677136192157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7613688387765487017.post-52616279990320393672012-07-23T17:23:01.825-06:002012-07-23T17:23:01.825-06:00Danielle, the skirt looks wonderful.

I consoled myself by looking at the previous post and saw her looking so sweet and babyish. Especially in the shot where she and Oliver are sleeping together. So beautiful. I always tear my fabric too. I started doing it at the beginning of the 80's when i started smocking for Emily. I have noticed that over time I have had to buy more and more extra fabric to end up with enough. Now I can't start any sewing project unless I have torn one end so I have it going completely straight. I usually buy an extra 1/4 yard because JoAnn's, Hancocks, and Hobby Lobby can cut there fabric so off. I used to be able to get by with an extra 1/8 yard. I was making a Pillow for my son-in-law once and bought the fabric at Hancocks. It really needed to be on the straight grain. One of the colors I had needed 1/2 yard. I didn't like the way it looked on the bolt so I bought 3/4 yard. When I started on the project and got to that fabric, I ended up tearing off 1/3 of a yard from one end to make it square. So I already didn't have enough fabric for what I needed and the other end which in this case had to be squared wasn't even squared yet. I have found some local shops that actually tear the fabric for cutting. You have to love that. If you ask for 1 1/2 yards, you will get 1 1/2 squared up yards. I am in a wheelchair though and it is hard for me to get out. If anyone knows an online store who tears their fabric I would love to know about it. Danielle it has been so nice hearing from you more and more. I know that PR&P really did you in. It's so nice to be hearing from you more often now.TerriSuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00161769399124744018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7613688387765487017.post-31671411963494801922012-07-22T15:16:59.270-06:002012-07-22T15:16:59.270-06:00i want that whole outfit in my size! avery looks s...i want that whole outfit in my size! avery looks so pretty and i love her hair.vanessahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00106678620635657687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7613688387765487017.post-42621445807958192392012-07-22T01:00:56.767-06:002012-07-22T01:00:56.767-06:00Oh what an awesome skirt!!!!!Oh what an awesome skirt!!!!!Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03882596439110061970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7613688387765487017.post-49589603568682819262012-07-21T19:23:48.637-06:002012-07-21T19:23:48.637-06:00So cute. cute cute cute.So cute. cute cute cute.Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00319475616379571657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7613688387765487017.post-67171578772822469912012-07-21T15:48:35.473-06:002012-07-21T15:48:35.473-06:00love, LOVE this!
