Twirly skirt!

So I decided after dinner last night to make a twirly skirt for Molly. It's a fairly easy pattern, except that I made it on the fuller side, which made the gathering a pain. The pattern is from Angela's blog Dangit Ange! and her website Cornpatch Creations and I found her links on Beth's Sew Mama Sew! site. Whew! That's a lot of URLs.

Anyway, I think I may invest in a ruffler foot if my girly girl keeps wanting twirly skirts. I need to stop by the shop today to see if I can find some cute trim for the bottom of the skirt. It's also a little short, so I am going to find some cheap Target shorts for her to wear underneath. I'm also going to get her a full length mirror for the back of her door. That will keep her occupied for hours.

As usual, the photo doesn't get the colors quite right. I don't know if it's my camera or my monitor or what. I'll post another photo after the trim is on the she's wearing it. That could be this afternoon!

  4. She loves it! She would have worn it with the unfinished hem if I would have let her. Maybe I'll post a Facebook video of her showing it off.

    I didn't end up getting a mirror, though. The cheap ones at Target had no hanging mechanism, and the frame was too flimsy to stand having something screwed into it. Another day, I suppose. Or maybe I'll find one at a yard sale.

  5. You're so funny! I'm all for keeping little girls occupied for hours! I just go a ruffler and I love it! Although all I've done is play with it. I've not actually MADE anything with it! ha! But I will.
