"Hair Spray" Musical Circle Skirts

Lori and Cindy and kids not in school came here yesterday so that we could make circle skirts for all the girls for Music Camp in July in Rupert. The mini-musical they are doing this year is "Hair Spray" so we thought the girls would look adorable up on stage in these cute period skirts! I can safely say we had a ball! They were only here for about 5 1/2 - 6 hours and we chased kids, fed them (and not to be left out...ourselves!)  and had a dozen interruptions, (fun interruptions, however! Whenever our grandkids are around, I'm a happy Grandma!)  We still made at least 7 skirts in that period of time. My camera does not begin to do these skirts justice. They turned out darn cute! Lori did all the cutting and Cindy and I sewed as did Lori. She is so fast...Cindy and I a little slower...but hey, we had a great time! I love to have my girls around. They make me laugh and bring me pure joy!  I went over to Lori's about a month ago and we went to a Mill End Fabric Store in Burley and bought all this brightly colored solid rayon fabric in many different colors and then bought off-white eye-let lace fabric as an underskirt to each one. They all have black 2" fabric waistbands. So adorable and so easy. To be sure we had enough length for Regan and Lindi's skirts, we added even a second underskirt of black or black and white polka dot. We made one for Kami, too, because we couldn't leave her out if all her sisters had one! She loves it and has been wearing it non-stop since she woke up this morning. Here are a few pics of our day. We missed you, Julie! Maybe next year it will work out better. Lori took 3 pieces of the fabric home with her to make up to sell to some of the other mothers who might be looking for costumes! Thanks, girls, for making it happen! I know your schedules are so busy!
