Christas said... Well, I think I have had my needed giggles for the day! Your review is WONDERFUL! I LOVE the skirt. How extremely creative you are to buy men's knit t-shirts for fabric. I saw on Threadbangers where they made a wedding dress for $10.00 out of men's t-shirts. I like your DD's skirt MUCH better! LOL! 7/5/09 6:59 PM
KitnRose said... The skirt is gorgeous and your review made my day brighter. :) Great work on both! And, assumedly, on your DD who sounds like she's turned out quite well. :) 7/5/09 7:30 PM
Kay Y said... Brilliant! Both skirt & review. 7/5/09 7:47 PM
Mary Nanna said... very amusing review. The details on this skirt are just gorgeous - I notice you made it in knit, whereas the pattern recommends wovens, that's good to know that it can hold its shape with a knit. 7/5/09 7:56 PM
Rhonda in Montreal said... Karla, you are a HOOT!!! I have this pattern!! Sew, thanks for the heads-up about sizing!!
Did I tell ya you're a HOOT??!! 7/5/09 8:06 PM
Lori V said... Really cute skirt, can't believe it is made from Hane's tshirts. Thanks for the very funny review, too. 7/5/09 8:26 PM
barbcl said... Thanks for the great review. The skirt is very cute. I can relate to the need for cool clothes in FL during summer, especially when walking the dog! The T-shirt weight is probably just right. 7/5/09 9:12 PM
Patti B said... I love the skirt and your creative sourcing of fabric. What? You didn't have any fabric at home? hahahaha 7/5/09 9:39 PM
Annette1 said... This is REALLY cute, Karla, and I don't think it looks too wintery at all, especially if she puts it with a light-colored top. :o) 7/5/09 11:34 PM
sew4dasoul said... Thank you for the great review! I have this pattern as well but haven't mustered up the energy to tackle it. Your review will help me out alot! BTW, just like your daughter, I don't like to tuck either : ) 7/6/09 1:01 AM

Maychi said... Thank you for a delightful review, I especially enjoyed the pattern sizing part. The skirt is wonderful as well. 7/6/09 7:30 AM
AnneM said... Oh that is adorable. I just love those pockets. The fabric will just extend the season for the skirt; she can get away with wearing it in cooler weather because of the color. Thanks for the sizing advice. As always, love your reviews. 7/6/09 8:02 AM
marjenann said... OMG!!! What a clever skirt and cute as can be!! Just the kind of garment a young girl would love!!! Way to go!! 7/6/09 8:10 AM

Caroleleah said... Oh, Karla, what a delightful way to begin my day!! :) Your reviews are always tremendous fun AND greatly informative! You manage to sneak in some very good tidbits of info while being entertaining with it! :) I have this pattern on the table in "almost up next" status, and will absolutely use your suggested method of sizing regarding tracing the yoke. I can't WAIT to see "MY" size fall to my knees!! Hah!
Thanks, Karla - adorable skirt, great review! 7/6/09 9:14 AM

JDpenelope said... Karla -- Great review, as expected. (It showed up on the side of the screen while I was researching patterns.) Will I sew anything like this any time soon? Probably not, but I like reading your reviews anyhow. It gets the creative juices flowing, as well as the comedic ones. Thanks for the grins. 10/18/09 5:28 PM

ktr2567 said... I am way behind the times, typical. Thanks for the tip about measuring the yoke. Just bought this and was just going to trust..ahem...the measurements on the envelope, apparently not a great idea! You saved me, thanks so much and your skirt is so cute! 10/13/12 11:45 PM
