Bias Strip Skirts and Bow Ties

Jessi found this cute skirt tutorial for the wedding.  Dandi and I loved it so we went for it.  And WOW did they  come out cute!  They were like walking decorations at the reception.  The skirts were really easy to make, but after Dandi cut out all the strips for us and Jessi and I  sewed them around and around 10 skirts we were all glad to be done with them.  Jessi picked out the fabric to match Cadie's colors.  The mix of oranges, fuchsia, and purply pinks went together so beautifully.  

Dandi learned how to make bow ties from a friend and made them for the boys and a few of the dads.  They looked so adorable with the girls.  She will have to post a how-to on bow ties.  All the boys loved them.  They wore them to church the next day and loved all the comments people made about them.  I think that Dandi has had lots of requests from them for more bow ties in other colors and patterns.  

Here are all the grandkids in their wedding attire with Cadie and Gavin.
