This skirt came from the discard pile out front of our building’s entryway.
It was a really cute skirt but the zipper was terribly broken.
It laid around the apartment for a few weeks until I went to baby Gap for inspiration.
I saw this gap kids jumper priced at $26.95 and then I used the old skirt to make my own!!!
Let me tell you that no one was more surprised than myself that this actually worked! I was so excited about it. Aleah really liked wearing it (she is a comfy freak) and didn’t want to take it off.
And here are some pictures of me trying to get Aleah to cooperate through bribery (a CLIF fruit twist, not a cigar) and sheer effort-
He Sowed She Sewed 
Omygoodness Cait! That is the cutest thing yet. Absolutely adorable! And I love the pictures. She looks like she worked it 🙂
SooooOOOOooooOOOooo CUTE! The outfit and the child. The whole thing. I love it. Your best one yet, I think!!! Keep it up!!!
Hey….I was gonna say ‘best yet’. She is a cutie and a bit of a ham, perhaps? 🙂

Oops sorry. Didn’t mean to repeat myself.
That is just too precious Caitlyn! The outfit is as adorable as the sweet little girl wearing it. Guess I better be going thru my closet and doing some remakes for out little granddaughter 🙂
Yes, she most definitely is a major ham for the camera! I have no idea where she gets it! Terry, I would love to see anything you can remake for your granddaughter.
Cheri, no big deal on the repeat, I am still figuring all this stuff out and sometimes it just doesn’t cooperate. Tonia and Becky, thanks guys!
This is SO FREAKING CUTE!!! I have a ridiculously talented sister…
