Project cousin installment #1

I think I've mentioned project cousin before and thought I would share it today. Project cousin is basically where I am Ashlyn's sweat shop worker until she has sent a package of something to wear to each and every one of her girl cousins. It started with a birthday gift and her wanting to have a matching skirt to wear to church with her cousin. There are several cousins at church and I didn't want anyone to feel left out so I told her we'll just make a big project out of it and make one for everyone. I also stink at doing birthday gifts and usually only give one every 3 years so I figured it was about time.

I'm stupid, there I said it. Have I ever mentioned Cody has 8 brothers and sisters and I have 5 and most of them have more than 2 kids? I did find out that if I make the same skirt over and over and over again until I want to throw stuff at the wall I can whip out 2 a day. Here's what I have so far.

Day 9 and 3 skirts. I said I could make 2 a day but really I cut one out, eat some chocolate, sew a seam, make something really bad for me to eat, and call it a day.
Good thing they are fun and fast or I would have quit after #1. Thought I should mention the design- not mine so there won't be a tutorial. After my 50th one maybe I'll do something original I can do a tute for!
Have a fantastic what ever day I scheduled this for since my computer still stinks.

  2. Honey, these are precious! My daughters are 26 and 23 now, and when they were The Cousins' age would've adored wearing skirts like these. You did a great job with variety, too. Mm-mm cute!

  3. I've had projects where the whole time I'm being "ambitious and dare I say generous and thoughtful", I'm thinking ,"what did I get myself into? Why did I agree to do this, because now I forgot?!" :)
    They are adorable! Good work.
