Lunchbox Notes from Cindy Hopper for Alpha Mom.

I’ve started working on some back-to-school clothes for the girls this week. Here’s the first round of skirts, made with this Echino fabric and a coordinating stripe (can’t remember if I got it here or here). They also have this fabric in a laminated version which would work well with the lunch bag from this week’s Make it Monday project. Hopefully I’ll have more clothes to show soon. I’m thinking of making some matching shirts with rows of buttons sewn in a square to echo the dot design in the fabric.

A half yard of fabric, two rows of stitches, some elastic — and you have a back-to-school skirt.  Love these fabrics: Echino Bird & Berry, Kokka Red Riding Hood,and Alexander Henry’s Tillbrook border.  I also embroidered some plain tees to go with these.
