So I was realizing that I was doing a really bad job sharing my fun sewing projects (unless it was for pattern testing), because of that I have decided to fix that and share some the projects!
The older girls weren’t interested in having a custom outfit for Thanksgiving, they had cute stuff that kind of fell into the fall colors so I was OK with that but Little Missy is my “do what I want with her” baby and so she got a cute little skirt & sash that turned into a pretty cute outfit.
Bow we’ve had for a few years from Gymboree, t-shirt is from Baby Gap, skirt & sash by me (material was purchased at Material Girls but I don’t think I can give you any line names or anything – sorry, I’ll try to get better at that). Tights are from somewhere and the boots I found from an Etsy shop it seems like forever ago and we just love them!
So, the skirt! There are like 940 million free twirl skirt tutorials online so I didn’t make one up when I made the skirt. I’ve been making them for it seems like forever and they’re quick and fun! Here are a few different online tutorials to help you out if you’ve never made one before – warning though! Once you make one you’ll want to make like 20! They’re that simple.
Dana Made It
For my skirt I picked a fabric for the top and then realized it was going to be hidden by her shirt so I made a sash out of the same fabric because I loved how they all looked together. I also used a pair of pants the darling hubby no longer wanted for the corduroy piece. The last thing that I did that is probably different than your standard twirl skirt is that since I didn’t want to worry about hemming the bottom I used this trick for having a nice finished bottom without having to worry about hemming! No hem skirt.
So there you go! Lots of resources up there so you can get started today. It’s amazing what fabric prints look so great together and it’s always so fun to see the smiles and of course who doesn’t love compliments on a job well done! Good Luck!
Here’s Missy showing off her skirt (and the whole outfit)
Big Brother wanted in the picture too (He is 100 MILLION percent in the middle of a dinosaur love affair, I should probably figure out something to make him because of that but everywhere seems to have dino stuff right now so it’s pretty easy to just buy it – however if you know any cute dino gift ideas I could make please send them my way!)
Could it be she’s trying to pose?…
Not sure what she was so shocked about but she was cracking me up!
She realizes better than he does that she’s catching up with him! He still wants to hold her all the time though.
