lazy skirts?

i tried the lazy skirts. thank you, sarah, for posting the link! i love these, and hope to do a bunch for m and a.c. to slip in to throughout spring and summer.

i'm curious - are they called lazy skirts because they're meant for a lazy day, or because it's a lazy way to sew a skirt?

i've never made a skirt before - and i knocked out four of these babies for my babies.

they are so fun to make! i had fun playing with patterns, ribbons, even making my own ribbon out of fabric, and ric-rac!

the mary-had-a-little-lamb skirt for a.c. turned out to be like a mini-skirt (oh, me and my seam allowances), but hey, we like leggings in this house, so it's all good.

what do you think of turning these in to an adult version? i'd love to make myself some skirts, but not sure i want the elastic. also not so sure that i want to get in to buttons and such. anyone have a good grown-up (simple) skirt?

AH HA!
so, i was walking down my hallway and saw this little beauty.
i asked her "have you ever considered modeling?"
she grinned.
i quickly pulled out the mary had a little lamb skirt (and the tune, we sang it together, of course - how else do you win over a diva like this?)... slipped it on her, and heaven behold!
now, the next day... my model coerced her big sister to get in to the modeling act.
but they decided that there was a much more fun (though unwilling) body in the house...
cooper, next time you run away, i will know you've gone to vogue.
