Ladybugs & Polka Dots

It's time for a new sewing project. I have 3 girls and so far have made a skirt  for the 2-year-old, a shirt for the 9-year-old and a tunic for me. That means it's the 4-year-old's turn! She's been notoriously picky about what she does and doesn't want, so I finally put my foot down today. This is what I'm making and if she doesn't like it I'll make it for her 2-year-old sister instead. Somehow, she's changed her mind and she likes ladybugs and polka dots. Hmmm...

This time around I'm trying two free tutorials to make a shirt from the ladybug fabric and a skirt from the Westfalenstoffe blue on blue polka dots. I'll be using the 90 Minute Shirt Tutorial from MADE (and, yes, I know it will take me much more than 90 minutes) and the Lazy Days Skirt free pattern from Oliver + S.
