What was your inspiration?

It all started with the great granddaughters. Now it is seeing how many different outfits I can create and I am having a blast. This is one of my favorites and is for sale on Ebay at bannersbycarolyn.

What are you most proud of?

Combining the crochet with sewing. I love the tierred flared skirts I am creating.

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

Look at patterns with a different eye to see how many different ways you can use them and try creating your own patterns.
