Hello everyone, it's e from pinksuedeshoe. I'm filling in for Amy for sew&tell this week while she lives out of a suitcase and waits to move into her new house.
Last summer I was poking through my little stack of fabric (it is now a much bigger stack of fabric) and while sifting through my fat quarters I hit upon an idea. I thought that there must be a perfect way to make a little skirt for my then 6 month old daughter with a few fat quarters. So one afternoon I made this pattern up. I love it for several reasons:
And as if that wasn't enough, a year later and my daughter can still wear it! I sewed up a new little skirt this week so I could write a tutorial, which is posted over on my blog.
It's a great little twirly skirt and will fit little girls from about 6 months to 18 months. Just by changing the trim you can customize this skirt for any mom and baby. You can use ricrac, ribbon, lace, ruffles, little pompom's, you name it. A few weeks ago I made this same skirt for Amy's baby Maggie to match her big sisters (Amy posted pics here) so I added a little extra fabric trim to the bottom. Come visit me at www.pinksuedeshoe.com for the full tutorial!

I thought that there must be a perfect way to make a little skirt for my then 6 month old daughter with a few fat quarters. So one afternoon I made this pattern up. I love it for several reasons:
- It's reversible so it's two skirts in one.
- It's fast, easily less than an hour- for TWO skirts!
- There is absolutely NO wasted fabric. And all you need is two fat quarters, a little trim and some elastic.
