    Today is the first day of the first grade! And there are 3 Kaylees and a Keeley in Kaylee's class. Oh, that poor teacher!  I thought such a pretty little first grader deserved a pretty little skirt to wear on her first day in the big leagues.

    It is the "Drawstring with Pockets" skirt from Melly Sews. A lovely tutorial, easy to follow and perfectly illustrated. Thanks, Melly!

    An easy on draw-string skirt with contrasting fold down pockets. I especially love that detail. It was such an easy sew.
