My second skirt, tiered ruffled beauty!

This is the second skirt I made my daughter. I just love how easy the instructions at Chica and Jo are even though I have change them to my skill/method.

This one was made with fabric I won from Paula Prass when she kindly had an online giveaway in 2009. It was just screaming, "make a skirt out of me!" Wasn't it? Too darling! See the links here for more info:

·         The Fabric from Michael Miller Fabrics “Flight of Fantasy” collection

And you can't resist but to twirl in the skirt too! Love the photo!

Enjoy!!! And I want to thank those who are offering me other children’s clothes patterns, but no thank you. J

Ok, I am going to get back to my blocks. I feel like I have Block swap Block! I'm not liking what I picked out and the other blocks being submitted are AMAZING! The skill level is so advanced! I'm still very beginner to maybe intermediate. Oh we'll see. :)

She likes the Tiered Ruffled Skirt

This morning, I gave my daughter the skirt I made for her. My first skirt made (other than 8^th grade home ec class) and her first long skirt! We’re a happy home today! J

Enjoy!

We will make another one and maybe one with more tiers soon!

I am adding that I bought the fabric with Christmas gift money (to buy myself whatever I wanted! and I chose fabric. I've never bought "good quality" fabric! only the $1/yd or less!) from SEW MAMA SEW . it is the Floral Sky collection their photo of the fabric is darker in pink, not sure why. But I did but the blue, purple, and green too. They are GREAT QUALITY and versitile!

I made a Tiered Skirt!

I found this pattern at “Chica and Jo” about 6 months ago or so and thought, “this is a great skirt to make someday”. With the tutorial including photos and thorough instructions, I thought, I should be able to do this. I like to be challenged. The my daughter about 2 weeks ago picked out her fabric from my stash and said how many tiers and the length. So I did it! In about 2 hours. Done. She’s asleep now and doesn’t know I did it. I cannot wait to surprise her in the morning!

Oh, I know I have blocks to do for my block swap, but I SEW wanted to make this. My daughter doesn't have a long skirts, this will be her first! Sew exciting! She also has designed one with more colorful tier, she just needs to finish picking out her fabric sometime. No worries, I'll post it when we get there

PS: Like cooking recipes, I did make  a few changes to the instructions for my (lack of) skill/needs.
