Christmas dresses 2011, continued

The Christmas skirts are done, mostly. I've finished everything but the hems. They are bias cut so they won't fray, and the girls have been wearing them anyway. No pictures, yet, of the finished skirts.

Last week my arm started hurting - a lot! Turns out it's tennis elbow. And, I have to x-ray my hand to see if I have arthritis. Nice, huh? I had skirts for E, H, and O done before it started hurting to move my hand at all. L actually sewed her own skirt. I sat with her to show her what needed to be done. She did a great job.

I am making some ruffled fabric flowers (adapted from these) to put on the girls' t-shirts. That totally messed up my hand/arm. They are not quite finished. Each girl was given 17 strips of fabric 2.5" x 5" to put in any order. They all ordered them differently.

I hope to get the flowers finished. The one's I have done are pretty stinking cute! Charlie is getting a brace for my arm. Should help.
