Measure twice, cut once. I swear I adhered to that motto this time but the skirt is, once again, too long for my child! This same phenomenon occured with the St. Patrick's Day skirt I made back in March. Looking at the bright side, though, it's still cute and she can wear it for a loooong time before she outgrows it. Maybe "third time's a charm" will be the motto that holds true in my case. At any rate, here's the skirt:

Simply ADORE that fabric. Well done on a fantastic effort!
ReplyDeleteFrom Alissa@ Excuse Me Mrs.C!
What an adorable skirt! And a cute kid, too! :) I don't think it's too long. It's a great length since it gives her room to grow.
ReplyDeleteThis is so cute. You did an excellent job. I think it's just the right lenght too with room to grow. I made Hannah a pillow case dress last week, it to is just a wee bit (well really a big bit) big but she loves it so that's all that matters.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing. I'm off to check out the tute and the other website you suggested.
Take care and God Bless.
