Starting Really Early - School Wardrobe

I know, it sounds insane, doesn't it?  I'm pretty sure most student just got out of school and here I am starting my daughter's fall wardrobe already.  Here's the deal.  In July, both of my kids go to camp and I am going to Salt Lake City for my brother's wedding.  We have another week of vacation in August close to the start of school.  Between all that and the suit I need to make to wear to my brother's wedding, the wedding gown I'm working on for a friend and maybe a couple of things for myself, I need to get started now if I expect to have things for my daughter to wear to school! 

We went through her closet and got rid of all the stuff that didn't fit - which wasn't quite as bad as I thought, but still took out a lot of her basics.  She's grown a lot over the last year, so even all the clothes I made last year don't fit.  Things from two years ago are definitely too small.  For the moment, we've decided to make 2 skirts, 2 dresses and 3 tops.  Most of these things are knits and will be easy, so the plan is to try to get one piece done per week and hopefully around all the summer activities, her wardrobe will be in better shape by the end of August.  We have a lot of fabric, so I've only had to purchase a couple of pieces, which is a bonus, too!

So.  I'm starting with Simplicity 3754, which is out of print, but both styles will work for her.  She likes neutral bottoms and print tops, so we're making a straight skirt in khaki and the fuller one in black.

I should have this finished tomorrow and I'll give you all the details and what I think about the pattern.  So far, the skirt front and back are done, I just need to baste the side seams for a test fit, adjust and finish off the waistband and hem. 

Parting Shot:  Summit.  Today's hike was Mt. Eisenhower and here I am at the summit.  Today was a beautiful day and with views in all directions, it was a great hike.  [BConky - thanks for the link!  My husband already subscribes;  I will keep it for renewal time!]
