Hi everyone :) Yet again, here is another pattern I am super excited to have all done. It's another one I started back in April and took a while to finish it up.
If you don't know, I have this really long list of things to finish and I'm really trying to tackle those things before I do some new things (of course, I just can't help myself sometimes though :).
I created this skirt because of my daughter. She is my muse when it comes to all things little girl. When she started getting into dressing up and all, I really wanted to make her one of those pretty fluffy nylon chiffon petticoat skirts. Well, I didn't find any locally and I was too impatient to order some of that material, so I came up with a skirt that could be just as fun and twirly and all with using other kinds of available fabrics.
The purple and blue skirts were the first two I made. When we did the photo shoot with my daughter and one of her friends at the park, all the little ones fell in love! They were all like, "Look at the princesses!" It was the cutest thing! I really have no idea how I got a few pictures without other little kids in the picture.
I then had to make one for my friend's little girl. Full skirts are so cute on the itty bitty ones!
Then, for a friend's older daughter, we made it more "big girl" with bright colored knits and sporadic ruffles.
The skirt is the waistband with the skirt being all one piece of fabric. That makes this a one seam twirly skirt!!!!! Easy and quick! Or not so quick if you decided to go crazy with the ruffles.
But have no fear! I share my tricks on how to do the ruffles in a time efficient manner and all.
There are a few options shown that I share more details on in the pattern, but you can embellish it in so many ways.
The skirt can be worn alone or add some leggings and boats for the fall/winter.
Here are a few pics of what some of the pattern testers made:
