Even though Anya really doesn’t need more skorts and tops, I decided to make her a few more.
She wore this first one right away on a very hot day at the horse races. I made it for summer wear, but the black was not helping her out in staying cool.
The skort is a pretty thin black crinkle knit with silver butterflies. I mistakenly made the 3rd tier too short, but she has her bike shorts underneath. That should negate any too-shortness.
The top is a slippery rayon knit with a bit of sparkle. I upped the sparkle factor but adding this appliqué I bought last spring on my fabric excursion. It has iron-on stickiness on the back side, so I carefully ironed it onto the fabric and then stitched along the seam line. The back of the neckline is just a simple bias binding with the knit.
This next one is using the holographic slinky knit that I tried to use for a leotard. It only has to stretch across, so this works. I added a white cotton knit underneath for the bike shorts. It goes rather well with this Packers shirt that I upcycled from one of mine. It was too tight (purchased pre-kids), so I rarely wore it. It was a fitted long sleeve t-shirt. I kept the neckline, and cut the sleeves where they would fit on my sleeve pattern.
I am sure I will eventually get pictures of her wearing it.

I have a few more things in the hopper. Just need to get pictures taken. I also have a pile of things to make, and the busy-ness of summer is not helping make it smaller. Hopefully, I will get time to tackle it soon.
Not right now, though.
yes! she is quite a rockstar. Adorable. I love the green Packers skirt, too!
