Lady Skater Blog Tour. Indian Summer.

Amanda, from Kitschy Coo, one of my bloggy BFF's and one of the coolest funniest ladies I know, made a pretty badass pattern called the {affiliate linkSkater Dress for little girls.  It's one of those patterns that is a must for any avid little girl sew-er out there!  Between that being such a successful pattern and the coercing of friends and people like me, we twisted her arm enough to make a big girl version of the dress.  I was gnawing at the bit to test and fell in love not only the result but also the fact that it only took two and a half hours to cut out and sew!  Who doesn't love a quick project like that!?  And for me, it always me to mix match fabrics so that is another win.

Hooked. I had my inspiration for my dresses!
