I am going to attempt to start a sewing club with my 3 oldest daughters to try and encourage the 2 yougest ones to wear skirts. I used to make them matching dresses before the boys came along, so wish me luck!
Are there any easy patterns you recommend?
God bless,

Yes, Michele could you post your yahoo group so Ruth can find Tilly's skirt pattern?
My 18yo dd has been making this easy skirt for herself and her sisters and her friends for years, invented by homeschool girls, who would be happy to help you by phone.......or maybe even in person....she lives in VA, too! Where are you? She is in No. VA

Ruth:
I have made simple a-line, elastic waist skirts for my daughters for the past 2 years. The exact same skirt as this one, but smaller of course. And, theirs are not as long. I make my own pattern based on their measurements. It's very easy.
Here is Michele's Catholic Mother's Sewing Room

Thank you, Suzanne!
I THINK the pattern is posted in the files at Michele's email list......and there should be several photos of Tilly's skirt pattern, including my Christmas tree skirt!

Suzanne,
I love your skirt. What fabric did you use?
I just joined the Yahoo group this morning. I found the link in this forum.
I'm about an hour south of No VA. They can pm me if they'd like. I need lots of help!!!
God bless,

It's a fine-wale-corduroy. Joann Fabrics has all their corduroy and heavier fabrics on sale now for 60% off.
A friend of mine in Atlanta is just learning to sew and I told her we could do a "sew-along" for this skirt. She would be making one for her daughter (age 8) and I would probably do another one for me. I'd post info on measuring out the pattern and post pictures of how to sew it up.
Maybe I'll post a couple pictures up of my dd-6, in her skirts so you can see what they look like on a smaller person.

Ruth,
she lives in Woodstock......are you anywhere near there?
btw, you can put "looking for tilly" in the subject line at the sewing group and Tilly aka Mackenzie will respond, as she is on that list, too. She is one of my dd's best friends.
Have fun!

She's probably about an hour Northeast of me. But where I live now, my family is about an hour away. But, we wanted to get away from it all.

Michele,
Could you add me? My computer is not functioning well at all right now and I am not able to access any links.
Would that work?
Just let me know!
Thank you!
Maria
