Sewing experiments

My granddaughter had on a cute skirt last time she visited so I found a nice pattern to play with. I thought I could make it fancier or more unique than a store-bought skirt.
 


Here's the muslin test. It's been a loooong time since I've tried to sew any clothes. I played with some decorative stitching and tried out my new binding foot to add the trim at the bottom.  No hemming needed and it looks kinda snazzy.
 
I also found a free pattern on craftsy.com for a boy's bowtie (thanks to asundaygirl.etsy.com).

I used fabric I had left over from making bags for beadsofcourage.org  I think it turned out pretty cute.
