So, for the 4th we will be joyfully busy.
And my daughters will be decked out in the most adorable outfits. At least I think they are:
Yeah, it’s still keeping the pictures turned. I’ll show how I made this skirt in a sec…but first, the youngest from the Bunch…
This was my second attempt at a pillowcase dress and, I must say, it succeeded!
So, here’s how I made Zoe’s skirt. After making the pillowcase dress, I didn’t have enough material to make a twirl skirt for Zoe. So, I brainstormed. And remembered that I was holding on to two blue jean legs that I had cut off last year to make shorts for Zoe. I knew they would make a cute skirt but wasn’t sure how to use them. And then this project came up:
I cut the legs apart and then folded them in half.
I placed the denim on the fabric on the fold and cut out two more panels to match the pants panels. I also made sure they had a bit of a triangle shape to add to some twirl (which is a requirement from Zoe).
Then I just sewed (actually serged…woohoo…I have a serger now) the panels together, made casing for elastic and then sewed the ribbon on the bottom. Tada!
And my wonderful “critic” and “advisor” loved it!
