I got this awesome fabric from eBay, and I'm making a maxi skirt out of it:

Hancock fabric

I picked this fabric up at Hancock, $2/yard.  I spent $4 total and made an oversized scarf with it using the pico edge technique on my serger.

Kwik Sew 3880

This was an easy top to make with fabric left over from one of my Mission Maxis.  I've been wanting a "cold shoulder" top and now I have a great pattern to use in the future.

Burda mesh top

Burda swim coverup

This is from the July 2011 issue of Burda Style magazine.  Burda offers many of these patterns on line to download for a price, which is what I did.  The download includes the dress and top version.  I'll be making the top next.





I got the mesh fabric from eBay.  It's from the Italian boutique clothing maker Save the Queen.

Burda 9538, girl's pants

I made several pairs of these yesterday for Charlotte.  I'm not 100% happy with the result--they are too big in the hips and I used the size two for the hips, size 3 for the length.  Perhaps they will fit a bit better when she grows into them.  The fabric is super cute though.
