Let me just start by saying that I am no Martha Stewart. I do pretty well when it comes to cooking and baking but when it comes to crafty stuff and sewing I'm not too talented. Everything I know about sewing I learned in 8th grade Home-Ec. I can't even sew in a straight line. That being said, I saw this cute bandanna skirt idea for my girls here. It looked simple enough so I thought I would give it a try.
Here's how they turned out.
Emily and Allie dancing a jig.
if you are an expert seamstress it wouldn't even take that long.I have to say it was super easy to make these and they only cost about $3 each. I used some lace on the bottom instead of material. It took me about an hour to make both of them. I'm sure
I still was unable to sew in a straight line but my girls love the skirts anyway. That is the only thing that matters to me.

Oo I like them! They're way cute, Amber! Good job! I like the lace idea -- much cuter than the all-fabric ones I've seen!!
Way cute! Someday you can teach me how to sew.
Those turned out way cute - I am impressed. I love that Emily looks like she is doing a courtsey in the second to last picture - what a character. My mom is amazing with the sewing machine - how I got absolutely no talent from her, I am still not quite sure....
You make me sick. Saying you can't sew and then make something like this. If I attempted this not even a rat would want to wear what I created. Oh but they are really cute!
Aaaaahhhh! Those pictures are so cute! I'm always a sucker for the ankles crossed in the air pose. I have Summer do it all the time. Great job on the skirts!
Very Nice! Impressive! I should go brush the dust off my sewing machine :)
So cute!! Love them.
How cute! I love the skirts! I wish my " I can't sew" looked as good as yours:)
Wow I am impressed!! Those are darling!
So cute! I like those! I may just have to try one....
Holy cow Amber way cute- did you take those pictures or did you go somewhere? What a cute idea and looks like the girls love them!!!!
So cute, if I ever have a girl I'll for sure have you make me one!!!
Way cute Amber. Great job on the dresses and what perfect little models you have to show the skirts off on.
Oh I'm totally calling you Martha from now on. Doin' it!
Good job chicka!
???Are you sure you did not sneak down and have your mom sew them?? HAHAHA I am very impressed, they are adorable and those cute girls are great models. Love the rat comment Keely. LOL

How cool are you! I think they turned out so cute! I love them!
WOW! I didn't know you even knew how to sew. I'm so totally impressed. And a little jealous. I've always wanted to be able to sew so I could make cute stuff like that. And I am cracking up at Emily's garbage lunch story! How funny!
