Horsing Around: Birthday Horse Skirt

As someone who spends more than her fair share of time browsing fabric sites online, I can attest to the fact that there is fabric for almost any theme. Skulls? Check, in hot pink no less. Television-themed fabric, perhaps to adorn your favorite couch potato. Or maybe something for a friend with a tendency to over-imbibe — do they prefer wine or beer (you just have to appreciate a fabric with the word “brewsky” in its title)? And at least a dozen bicycle fabrics, such as thisthis and my (for real) favorite. Even patriotic fabrics (if you click on only one link, make it this one, because you deserve a laugh!)

And did I mention that the gift recipient is a blonde? That makes this fabric even more precious because it seems like a personalized print!

Working on this skirt made me recall that period from my early childhood when I madly wanted a horse. Do most girls go through that stage? It was my pleasure to create this skirt. And now one lovely four year-old can truly say she received a horse for her birthday!
