VERY nice! Did you use a pattern for the skirts or just go by your eye? I made some skirts for my GD and her BF (ages 11 & 12). I bought men's XL tee shirts and cut them off right under the sleeve. I made a hem where I cut, folded that down so and hemmed so that I had a channel for the elastic to go through, pulled the tape to the right waist measurement, stitched and VOILA! they were done because the bottom of the tee shirt was already hemmed.

So THANK YOU SO MUCH for all the encouragement and helpful hints this week!! I am now going to get back in there and start the charity baby quilts that have been waiting. You all are the BEST!!!!!
