Hers & Hers Spring Skirts.

I finally finished these skirts for Avette & me, just in time for Easter.
I really like the paperbag skirts, so I decided to use a piece of pink velvet I had lying around to create that look at the top of the skirt.  For the finishing touch, I used a piece of white lace I had lying around and tied it to look like a belt.
For Avette's skirt, I took a pair of pink jeans, cut the legs off & sewed a hemline at the bottom.  The jeans were a few sizes too big, which made the skirt long enough to fit her after I cut the legs off.  Then, I took a piece of the floral fabric & sewed it right onto the pink jeans, like a tutu, just under the elastic waistline.
I can't wait to wear them!
