Getting ready for another school year

Ben and Madi start school on Monday! Boy did summer vacation fly by! Our school schedule is 2 months off for summer vacation and then during the school year, every 6 weeks we get 1 week off and boy do we like and need those weeks during the year.

Okay so I took a quarter yard of these 4 different Michael Miller fabrics...cut strips, sewed them together and added elastic...so easy, didn't even need a pattern. Plus there was enough fabric leftover to make a matching hair ribbon and another project...so, cheap and easy. Madi looks so cute in this new little skirt for school.

WOW!! That looks as good as the skirts their selling at Penney's for $30.00. It is so cute. Ya'lls school schedule sounds the same as ours. The summer ended way too soon.

Oh.my.goodness! Okay, that is seriously, hands down, THE most adorable skirt I've ever seen! I never in a million years would have thought of that! I have never used elastic before. Is it difficult to do? I hope this week is going great for you all! :)
