Oliver + S Hopscotch Skirt

I am super lucky to have some amazing photographs to share with you today.  They are from my friend Nicky who writes the craft-tastic blog Bluebird & the boy.  I love to sew and she is a professional photographer so we did a talent swap: she bought some material for me to sew a skirt and a dress for her daughter and I got a photo session out of the deal.  On top of that, she took photos of the skirt I made and shared them with me so I could, in turn, share them with you. 

The skirt pattern is from Oliver + S .  I love the fabric Nicky chose--it gives the skirt a retro vibe and looks adorable on her daughter. 

Oliver + S patterns are pricey, but they have great details.  This one has pockets that look like little takeout containers and a sweet row of buttons up the front.

Thank you for the pictures Nicky!
