The 4th of July is celebrated "big" in this town. Each year I have wanted to do something special for the kids and have never done it. Well, this was the year! I made these red, white, and blue skirts for the girls with some fun "celebration" material in them plus a pair of shorts for David. He would NOT wear them until we convinced him that if he wore them to the parade people would throw candy at him. :) What I thought would be an hour's long project took most of the day plus part of the next day! The skirts had a lot of gathering because I made them flare out.

Cute!
Very cute! Gathering does take a long time doesn't it!!! I prefer to skip things with lots of gathering when I can but the last dress I made for Megan she wanted puffed sleeves and ruffles so of course I had a lot of gathering to do. I tried to have her help me but the thread ended up breaking when she did it so it took more time in the long run.
Thanks for your comments! Laura has a yellow dress we need to get done. It will be gathering also. Hopefully she won't want to "help." :)
