Mermaid Skirt

Inspired by the fact that my daughter was squeezing her whole body into a single pantleg of my shorts and hopping around the house telling everyone she's a mermaid. I thought, hey, I'm just going to make her a tube so she'll stop leaving my clothes all over the nation!

So here is her glorified mermaid tube...er...skirt.

One of the best things about having small people to sew for is that you can raid the remnant bin at the fabric store with reckless abandon while everyone else has to wait in line to have their fabric cut for bigger pieces.

The resident mermaid is now pointing out various princess pictures from her books and making monumental requests.

FANTASTIC. I seriously need to learn to sew. Guess I need a machine first. P.S. I want to be like you.
