Twins ;-)

 The before....
Two matching Pumpkin Patch dresses {size 4 and 7}.
The girls used to love wearing these matching dresses. 
Miss 6 grew out of the size 4 and now she wears the size 7.

 I got an email from Lisa.... asking for photos of how I repurpose the Pumpkin Patch dresses into skirts.
Step 1...

Step 2.....
Overlock raw edges, turn back top to make a band, iron, pin and sew.
Step 3... thread elastic and sew gap.
So easy, takes about 15 minutes.

Twins again... well, sort of :)

Summer skirt...

What a hot day! 

 This arvo when I arrived home from work, it was still 36'C {97 F}, so we went down to the beach for a swim.

The kids had a great time and it was good catching up with our friend Teagen.

Outfit # 15, is a summer skirt.

 I made it from one of my old summer tops.

Before....

I cut the top under the plaited cord {at the bust line}.

 Then turned it down, ironed, sewed a band and threaded some elastic.

So easy! 

It took less than 10 minutes.
