KCWC: hot air balloon tee and applique skirt

Outfit #3! a skirt and shirt combo…with my favorite color combination right now-coral and gold! (obviously) I drafted this cap sleeved slightly gathered neckline top, then stamped the heck out of it with my hot air balloon stamp and some gold paint. I got lazy with the sleeves and haphazardly sewed them under 1/8″, but whatevs. It fits and I was done that day, if you know what I mean? The jersey is from Girl Charlee, of course. ๐Ÿ˜‰

The skirt is just your basic gathered elastic waisted skirt, with some circle appliques above the hem. I used my Go Baby to cut them out and then ironed them on. I may go around and sew them down, but we’ll see how it holds, or I’ll hand wash this one, cause I don’t feel like sewing 36ish circles. The gorgeous coral fabric is from The Ribbon Retreat.

Still in fine form, I see.
