So *ding ding* went something in my brain... I dug out some material I had previously used to make a skirt, cut out a couple little birdies, set my sewing machine to tight zig-zag and off I went.
Not sure if I pulled it off or not but I have to say, I will feel a lot more comfortable wearing the same skirt with the birds on it than them not being on it. The only thing about sewing something on a plain skirt is that it limits the tops you can wear. Sure you can wear a plain coloured top but definitely not something patterned. In my opinion anyway.
I have now made myself a pattern (*about time*), cut out of calico. As I have made a few skirts for a couple of other women now and both women are of similar sizing, so I have made a pattern in the size of my friends. I'm pretty sure I can cut out a size in between the two I have now so I can get my little skirt business organised a little better. I have a few ideas in my head that will pan out in the next couple of months with a bit of luck.
Watch this space.

Sounds like a great plan, and the skirt looks great with those sweet Birds! You have become quite the seamstress, my dear. BRAVA!
What a great idea! I love your bird appliques on the skirt.
I rather like it with the birds as I'm a bird lover & have started a bird collection [ ceramic ones ] have enough live ones outside.!!
