I always do a little stash busting in January. I've been gathering up remnants which were about 1/2 to 5/8 yard to make these easy little girls skirts. No pattern is necessary. I use the width of the fabric which is usually 45", seam up the back, hem with a border or regular hem, and add elastic to the top. I really like the "paper bag" waist treatment for little girls. Check out this blog for inspiration.
Excuse the poor quality pics. I couldn't get good pictures in the dark house and it was too cold to go outside!
I gave the skirts to my sister to distribute at the school where she teaches. She told me about 3 sisters who love to wear skirts to school even on cold days but really need new ones. I bought some tights at WalMart to match so that they can wear their skirts right away and stay warm!
These are so adorable! I am going to have to try this out for Riley. She is very into skirts and dresses right now!
ReplyDeleteThey would look so cute on Riley! And they're so much fun to make!
DeleteCute skirts! I'm sure the girls will love their new skirts.
