With all this lovely summery weather we're getting so early on in Spring, I realised William had only one pair of shorts, and all my casual skirts had been worn through two pregnancies and since binned. So after a trip to the fabric shop, and a morning at the sewing machine, I'm now half way to this weeks mission of sewing 2 skirts and 2 pairs of shorts. And the bonus is, they both fit!
A simple A-line skirt, with a zip at the side, in a quilters cotton, picked up on the clearance table at Spotlight for $10/m. Total cost of the skirt was approx $17 incl zip.
William's first pair of shorts, again fabric picked up on the clearance table at Spotlight, this time $6/m, and I probably only used 0.25m of it, so only $2-3 for the pair of shorts.
Much cheaper than $60 for a skirt and $20 for a pair of shorts in the shop...now just to find the time to get the rest sewn up.
