This is another skirt headed to Guatemala. Not an official Hundred Skirt Project skirt, but for another family that my parents befriended there. This is for an 8 year old girl. I will probably buy a red tee to go with this one as well.
This is the out of print pattern I used for this skirt. I have used this several times. I love the way it turns out. It has that preppy "Catholic School Girl" look to it. I loved that whole "Jumping Bean" line that McCalls produced during the 1990s.
Vintage Threads is home to The Hundred Skirts Project, a service project to benefit The Shadow Of His Wing Orphanage in Guatemala. The goal is to sew 100 Skirts, each unique, each with a matching tee and each with a special embellishment of some sort (applique, beading, trim, ruffle, pocket, belt, piping, etc.) As I began to sew skirts and write about my project, interest in the online blogging and sewing community soared. Comments and email poured in asking to be included in the project. Of course I was thrilled and happy to have participation from others. It now appears that, thanks to the generousity of the online sewing community, we will exceed our goal. If you are interested in joining The Hundred Skirts Project, email me at lovelace@mtaonline.net. Below you will find our count. The SKIRTS STILL TO ARRIVE are the skirts that have been promised, but not yet received. The Skirts Received Total are skirts that are now actually in my physical possession and ready for mailing.
SKIRTS STILL TO ARRIVE: Deadline Passed, Shipping Soon SKIRTS RECEIVED: 103 Skirts TOTAL PLEDGED: 114 Skirts
The list below is a resource that I hope you will find helpful in making beautiful things and learning new skills. I am happy to share these tutorials with you. However, they are my original material and are not to be printed elsewhere, please. Enjoy!
