Draw string: Chain double the # in your beginging chain. Weave through rnd 3 of skirt.

If you want the skirt to flare more increase 1 hdbl at the begining of every 5th row.

Here it is my work:

I started with a chain with 95 stitches and I joined with sl st in the first st to make a circle.

Then I made the waistband like Jenny.

Rd 1: Ch 2 hdbl in next ch and each ch around, join in top of ch2 with sl st

Rd 2: Ch 2, fphdl in first hdbl of rd 1. bphdbl in next. continue to alternate fphdbl and bphdbl around. join with sl st in top of ch 2

Rd 3 & 4 repeat rd 2

Rd 5: Ch 2, hdbl in each stitch around, join with sl st in top of ch2

Repeat rd 5 until approximately 1 1/2 - 2 inches above desired length

I made 5 rows for waistband.

Then I made a double crochet in every stitch and I went around. (Jenny made half double crochet).

I alternate blue and yellow for contrast.

I made the ruffle.

Rd 1: Ch 3, dbl in same space as joined. Dbl, ch1 dbl in next hdbl and every hdbl around. Join in 2nd ch of begining ch 3 with sl st

Rd 2: Ch 2, dbl in each dbl & ch 1 sp around

Rd 3: Repeat Rd 2 FO

This is the first row.

I made 3 rows for ruffle.

That's all. It was soooo easy. You'll see.

I made a draw string and I attached 3 flowers.

My daughter was soooo proud at kindergarten with her new blue skirt.

Name Banners for Kids Room - HARPER

I like banners with kids names. I try to make them colorful, with vivid colors, to be bright and cute. Here are some models I made. 

 This is the ladybug for the ends of the banners. But it's just a model. I can replace it with something else: cute Teddy Bears, cute monkeys, flowers, butterflies.

If yu want another name, just leave a message.

Two little monkeys - set of 2 pieces

A client asked me to make 2 little monkeys. Hmmmm.... For a baby. I thought brown is too sad for a baby. So I made two cute monkeys - but in red and orange. My daughter said they are cute, but a little bit strange. Just cute, OK?! 

They can be a great decoration in a kids room. I made them with happy faces.

Happy faces and big eyes.

The price is for a set of 2 pieces.

Colorful Felt Birds - 5 pieces

Are you ready for spring? Use my cute felt colorful birds to decorate your house. 

I like to sew birds. Because I have in my garden some little birds that come and eat what I gave them to eat: seeds, bread, rice. They make noise and bounce. Cute little birds. 

 I made these five little birds from felt and beads. You can use them as decorations for kids room, as Christmas or Easter ornaments, as ornaments for your desk, for your kitchen, or as a hang door. The birds have eyes and wings on both parts.
Size: almost 3,50x2.00 inches ( 9x4.5 cm)
The price is for 5 pieces. 

Christmas Stocking Ornament- set of 6 pieces

I know, I know - it's not Christmas. But I like this decoration. I keep this idea fr the next Christmas. 

Small and colorful: 6 socks as Christmas ornament. You can use them as a banner or hang them separately. They have beads decorations on both sides. They can be a great decor for children room, for your office or desk, in a Christmas tree, or at the window. 
Size: 2.00 x 3.00 inches ( 5.00 x 7.00 cm)
Please tell me in a message if you want them as a banner or separately.
If you want more than 6 pieces, please let me know.

Birthday Card for a Boy

Everytime I need a card for a man or a boy, I can't find it. I don't know why. Maybe because I want to find something serious, and blue: too serious and toooooo blue. I have two birthdays these days. I created these two blue blue blue cards. One is serious, as I like. The other one is with letters and age - for a 5 years boy. If you need other name and age ... I'll be glad to make a special card just for you.

Size: 4.00 x 5.50 inches (10 x 14 cm)

Angelina Ballerina Birthday Card or Party Invitation

My daughter loves ballet and everything related with ballet. She loooves Angelina Ballerina, this little white mouse, who, in fact, "taught" her to dance. For this reason, I create this card - to be a birthday card or even a invitation for a party with little ballerinas. And I like very much the technique: die cut. The card has a pink shiny pocket inside to put your personal message or the invitation. (Envelope included)
Size: 4.00 x 5.50 inches ( 10x 14 cm).
 If you need more card as invitation, please let me know.
The price is for one card.
