Leftovers

I made this skirt out of the scraps from a quilt I just finished. It is just a simple elastic waist skirt. And for the shirt. I have been making dresses for my girls and some of my nieces. When I was cutting them out, I accidentally cut out 4 backs and no fronts in the size 2T. So rather than waste them, I cut out fronts and sleeves. And made two shirts. I used the same pattern as I did for the white dresses I made for my girls, but instead of using elastic thread, I made a casing for the sleeves and used 1/4" elastic. After she put it on, I thought it would look better with a sash. So I cut a 3" strip serged the top and long side, turned it, then topstitched the long side and both ends. I love how it turned out.
