Last night was the Young Women mother/daughter tea party at our church. I had started this skirt for me a couple of (cough) years ago but never finished it. I decided the bright, vintage fabric was perfect for a tea party so I finished t up yesterday and made a quick, simple one for Lily to match. If you had asked me years ago if I was going to be the kind of mother that dressed to match her daughter I would have said "NO!", but I was actually really excited to be matchy patchy with Lily. I told Chris I could make him a matching vest and bow tie but he was less than enthusiastic. 
The fabric used to be some bedsheets of my grandmother's. I don't know why I scrounged them from the DI pile but now I am glad I did. What else would I wear to a tea party?

You two are so cute! The skirts look great! You are so talented! I got the package today--the pot pie pot holder cracked me up. I was so excited to show it to Adam! Thank you! I love it!

Do you take orders? I'll send my grandmother's bedsheets.
PS
Lily's skirt is too cute, do you have a pattern number? Or did you just whip that up out of thin air.
