easy, breezy summer skirts

Asha was in need of some skirts that came down to her knees.  Now that she is old enough to start middle school next month, she is not so excited to model the clothes anymore.  Can you tell?     

skirt one

fabric: Walmart calico, 100% cotton

pattern: Holiday Girl Clothes, view19

size:140

skirt two

Alison gave me the four tiered skirt piece a while back.  I hemmed the side seam and put cotton/lycra knit on for the waist band.

skirt three

fabric: heavier poly/cotton blend that used to be Scott's mom's jumper

pattern: Holiday Girl Clothes, view 18

size 140

Girl's Camisole

Book: Girl's holiday Clothes, style 13

Size: 130

Fabric:  patchwork cotton from Spain

As with most styles in this book, this camisole is loose to accommodate pre-teen chubbiness, but has a tie to create some shape.  I found the shoulder straps to be on the long side, too, and had to take a few inches in.    

Book: Girl's holiday Clothes, style 26

Size:130

Fabric: sheer sucker from a quilting store in Kauai 

The adjustable ties on the sides make this dress a versatile one through the pre-teen to teen years.  I changed it to a peter pan collar using another pattern from the dress.
