Toddler Skirt from my pajama pants

I was about to toss my pajama pants, when I realized they'd make an easy skirt for my little girl. 

I grabbed one of her other skirts, and traced that with an added 1/2 inch  seam allowance on each side making sure to use the elastic in the top of the pants to be the top of her skirt.  

I sewed it together, also keeping the tie for a bow later.

I then cut strips of material to make the ruffle.  I ran a baste stitch and then pulled them till they gathered.  I pinned and sewed that on. Then I hemmed it.

She looks adorable in it.  I'll definitely look at remnants differently for possible toddler clothes again.

Polish Kielbasa Sausage and Peppers

 Always looking for an easy recipe, I came across this.  My husband had grilled the onions, peppers and mushrooms in foil the day before, so these are the leftovers!

All you do is chop and add some olive oil.  Grill in a pouch of aluminum foil.  I think you could also try this in the oven...but I haven't done that yet. Make sure to close it up so it steams.

Saute up your precooked sausage and add your steamed onions, peppers and mushrooms. I really like the texture of these vegetables.

Coming this next week, I have recipes for a Thai Peanut pasta and some Creamed Spinach as well as some Shirt Refashions.

I hope everyone has a great weekend.  Quite a weather change we've had lately.  Back to jackets. What are you doing?
