What little girl doesn't love to feed ducks? But how many times has she been ill-prepared when encountering a flock? With this sweet skirt she can carry a handful of seeds in her pocket just in case she meets a group of hungry geese or pigeons on the street.
Lily had a great time modeling this skirt despite the high noon heat and shouted "Quack, Quack. That's duck for goodbye!" as we made our way home.
When I saw this Alexander Henry fabric I immediately asked for a yard. After seeing the print of the large bird feeding on seeds, the wheels in my head started spinning. I wanted to make a skirt with a tiny pocket on the side, large enough to carry a handful of birdseed.
But I didn't just want to make a simple skirt....so I made it reversible! It's the first reversible piece of clothing I've sewn since the kindergarten pinafore. After that nightmare I feared I'd never attempt a reversible piece again but I think enough time has passed for me to ease my way into one again....starting with this simple skirt. As you can see, the reverse side is green with a bird print pocket and trim.
(see below)
I made the waist 19" so I would say it would fit a 3t-5t. PLUS, if you leave a comment I will include the matching rickrack doublebanded headband, see below.
This giveaway is for the reversible skirt only.
Last day for posts is WEDNESDAY 7/30/08. Winner will be announced FRIDAY morning!
As usual, if you would like a chance to win this skirt just link back to this post. If you have any questions see the "questions and answers" link to the right. If you use blogger just use the "create a link" link at the bottom of this post. If you don't use blogger, that's fine too. Just create a link on your page as you normally would and I will see it using Technorati.
I've also had a couple people ask whether or not it is a problem if their blog is private. No, it is not a problem. I've seen plenty of private blogs in Technorati but if for some reason you don't think your blog is being recognized by Technorati, just let me know you've blogged in a comment to be sure.
