The Girl Skirts
I have been working on some summer skirts for Sierra and Claire . I have found for the 3/4 year old that a bed skirt is a perfect knee-length with a provided hem. This one is a nice soft blue cotton, the width can be chosen depending on how much swing is wanted and then I add a double waistline because I like the way it looks and fits. The large flat section of a bed skirt that normally lays under the mattress can also be used for lining skirts or other projects. Our local fabric outlet store sells them for a dollar so it’s a great way to use/find fabric. For this skirt I added a tea dyed maternity sweater no longer needed for some charm.
For Claire I found a beautiful butter yellow pair of corduroy pants for a quarter. She’s still small enough so that I can just use a pant leg turned on its side for the main body of the skirt. Some Ralph Lauren print for contrast and a vintage flower button from my grandmother’s collection.
