Laura Teufel said...

Hi! Congrats on your 200th post! My favorite "item" is your "color style" and use of fabrics.

My two girls looked fantastic over the holidays in the skirts you made. I even got inspired and bought a bunch of fabric and did my fist hand sewn skirt for them. Very fun.

Thanks for entering me in your contest.

I just found your blog through Jona at Stop Staring! Your designs are so inspiring! I love the idea of the yoga top skirts - I have liver disease and the swelling is so uncomfortable on bad days - elastic is like a sharp knife some days! I am going right now to my fabric stash and see if I can find some ribbing to alter a skirt for bad days - thanks so much!
