My latest project are these cute pettiskirts. Love how they turned out, hated making them. Even with a ruffler I had a hard time making these skirts. Ruffler damaged two needle clamps on my machine and made my life miserable. But I was not going to go to a no ruffler option because it seems to be too much work. If you don’t know what a ruffler is you should check it out on Google. It’s a scary looking gadget, but once you figure it out you can’t live without it.
Back to the skirts. I don’t know how people make them for a living. I made three in a week and a half and was so sick of them by the end of the third skirt. Too much fabric, too many ruffles. But the end result is adorable that is why I kept going.

As usual I spent a lot of time procrastinating researching the tutorials online and then took a little bit out of each one. Mostly I returned to this tutorial while sewing. It is very detailed and has lots of pictures.
Hey I check your blog too! (This is Rachel's friend Jen from Provo) Rachel has it listed on her blog, so I can check it. I love these skirts and I have wanted to try them for my girls. As far as the shirt, I would try the elastic in the sleeves. Good luck
ReplyDelete:) Thanks Jen for your comment! I already put the elastic into my shirt but haven't had time to take a picture and post it yet. And you should totally make skirts like this for your girls! I think every girl needs one of these :)
