Baby Skirts

I love to sew for Little B.  I love the satisfaction I get when I create something that nobody else has.  I love that seeing her wear it makes her want to dance and twirl!

This is two pieces of fabric sewn together, the bottom piece is twice as long as the top, only gathered before sewing the two together.  I have the exact measurements in my sewing notebook, but I am too lazy to jump up and get it for you.   I folded over the top piece just enough for a piece of elastic for the waistband, and just serge a rolled hem and wa la!  This is what I do because I can't afford a whole yard of the spendy trendy fabric.  I buy the least amount of inches I need for each portion.  These skirts only cost $2.00 a piece to make.  WOO HOO!

Only problem is my table always ends up looking like this for about a week when I get a sewing project out. Oh how I long for my very own sewing/scrapbook room!


A confession.  I made these skirts the end of last summer.  But it truly is still that beautiful here in Arizona!  And yes, Little B wears sandals in January.  Its AZ, you can do that!
