Stash Skirts

This morning when Kate got dressed, she put on her favorite skirt.  Unfortunately that certain skirt is my least favorite item of clothing Kate owns. I made it last summer and it fit her fine then, but she has grown (shocking, I know) and it just didn't fit the same.  It is form-fitting and every time she sits it rides up her hips and becomes much too short and we can all see too much of her.
I made her a deal - if we could put away that skirt, I would make her a new one.  I was planning on making a few for summer anyway.  My sewing room is full of cloth, so Kate and I went downstairs and picked out some fun fabric.  I am determined to sew with what I have and not buy anything new.  This is the first skirt I pulled together.  I had so much fun sewing it that I made a few more.
Kate probably likes this one the best.  She loves purple.  You can't see it very well in the picture, but it is a three-tiered skirt.
I really like this one.  Kate wasn't too excited about the green trim, but she's living with it.
Which one do you like?
It's great to be sewing again.  I still have a lot to do before summer and the baby comes.  Hopefully, it will get done!

I vote for the one with the green trim. It is my favorite--sorry, Kate . . .
