I am just in love with Anna Maria Horner’s Little Folks line printed on voile. The material is just fabulous. It feels so nice and drapes well and is such a refreshing change from quilter’s cotton for garment sewing. It’s been a long time since you could find attractive, high quality material for clothing! I am thrilled and wish I could buy it all up! Instead, I just purchased a little over a yard each of Little Folks Baby Bouquet in Dusk for the outer layer and the solid River for the lining.
As I was finishing up this skirt, my daughter asked if I would make matching skirts for the two of us. I am very excited about the prospect and now I need to find a good deal on more voile pattern and coordinating solid as I will need at least 2 yards of each to make us matching skirts!
If you are wondering how I sewed this after lamenting about my machine, my mom let me borrow her Viking.
Thank you to everyone who commented on my sewing machine post. Please keep adding your thoughts. Lots of important things have been brought to my attention and it is really helping me to narrow my search. I appreciate all the help!
