Little girl skirts

I loved my skirt and it was so fun to make that I thought I'd make one for my little girl too! I love the fabric collection by Sandi Henderson (for Micheal Miller) called Meadowsweet. The skirt is so easy to wear with a t-shirt and tights for cooler days or a tank on a hot summer day (hopefully they will be coming soon). The smocked waistband is so nice for allowing them to dress themselves, easy on and off for potty training, and it means nothing constricting on their little bellies (or in A's case bulging belly). I have a posting in my etsy shop here for a daisy print but I also have available for them the strawberry fields print (shown here as a dress) with a pink trim. If you'd like it in a different colour or print let me know I would love to make a custom skirt for you (I have alot of fabric on hand in lots of different colours - if your interested I could sent pictures)



I am trying to get things going with my etsy shop so spread the word, share with friends, I can't wait to make something for you!

Prego or Not Skirt

I made this skirt for myself for Easter, not because I prego, but rather because I HATE sewing with zippers. I thought it would be a quick and easy alternative.... and it was. The only problem I had was that it didn't shrink up as much as I had hoped. It was my first time doing anything with smocking, and with that in mind, I think it turned out great!
This skirt is ideal for the growing belly as the waist band is stretchy without being tight. I would love to make one for you (I would need your waist measurement and how long you'd like it). The waist will stretch at least 10" so no need to add inches if your belly is growing :)
If you are interested it doesn't have to be this print, I have a number on hand or if you have something you'd like I would love to work with you to create the perfect one for you!


Cost will be $35 for orders emailed to sawarkentin@gmail.com and $40 for orders through my etsy shop. (shipping not included).
