few weeks ago, a friend asked me to design a banner for our friend's baby shower.  she didn't give any specifics other than that it be parisian theme

 

this isn't a very good photo, but this is the only pic i have. 

two days off (for jewish holiday shavuot), both son and husband out of the house... peace and quiet :)

since i had my son over 2 1/2 years ago, i don't think i've ever been home by myself.  i love both my husband and my son and can't imagine my life without them.  but it was so nice to just have the day to myself... well, until my husband came home and we had a lunch date :)  that was nice too! 

after dropping my son off at school, i made my way home and started sewing.  it was supposed to be an easy project but it took longer than i thought. 

when i started making the skirt, i debated between zipper closure or elastic waistband.  i went with elastic waistband, especially because i just don't like sewing zippers onto garments.

 

fabric is bit stiff due to the ground color, but i hoping that the fabric will soften up with each wash.
