Here they are before, as pretty curtains.
And well under an hour later a little Christmas skirt has been made. Very simple, my kind of style.
And as the curtain is lined, the skirt has a really sweet fullness to it and is lovely and warm for Miss. Poppins on these cold winter days.
And here she is having some fun wearing it....
And as a special Christmas treat for you all, a rare glimpse of the beautiful Miss. Poppins herself. May I present to you my lovely little treasure :)
So rewarding to see her like it too. Normally I treat the children to a little outfit to wear on Christmas Day. It has been a little tradition since I had Miss. Poppins. Though now, I think I am going to make it a new tradition to MAKE them something to wear. Nothing gives me greater satisfaction than seeing one of my children wear something handmade that has been made from their own Mothers hands. Miss. Poppins' Christmas skirt shall indeed be worn on Christmas Day, and not a penny cost. Sheer Joy.
Now to get a crack on with Master P, Mmmmmm wonder what delightful fabric I shall find for him in my little stash, hope he likes pink and flowers ;)
Merry Christmas one and all.
What fantastic photos of Miss Poppins in the skirt in the snow!

I remember getting a new outfit to wear Christmas Day... I especially remember these jumpers from Marks & Spencer... big padded things they were and they'd have a big image on the front like Betty Boop or Mickey Mouse and they were reversible and the other side would have lots of little images on them!
ReplyDeleteAnyway there's my Christmas ramble....
Wishing you and your family a fabulous Christmas Mary and looking forward to spending more time in blogland with you in 2010

Beautiful girl, beautiful skirt! You should be extremely proud ;o) Have a very lovely Christmas xx
ReplyDeleteWhat lovely photos of Miss Poppins - she looks fabby in her new skirt!!
ReplyDeleteThis reminds me of when my Mum used to make dresses and skirts for me as a child - I was always thrilled to bits with them and it encouraged me to start sewing as soon as I was old enough to operate a sewing machine!
Have a peaceful, happy Christmas with your lovely family Mary.

Hi Mary,
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute skirt :-) (love the sequin cardigan too!!) my little one would be more than impressed with that! My plan for next year is definately to make more than I buy, that goes for all year not just Christmas... Although I feel this may be slightly optimistic, & I will be happy if I manage to provide people with handmade gifts!
wishing you and yours a wonderful Christmas & New Year!

What a gorgeous skirt. So pretty. And your little girl is beautiful too. And I of course love her name. My nan was called Daisy and i always thought if we had another girl I would call her that, and my eldest girls middle name is Mai. (That's how we spell it.)
ReplyDeleteHope you all have a fantastic and wonderful christmas, sending happy christmas sparkles to you all.
