Ruffle Front Skirt {Tutorial}

This is the last of my 3 elastic waist skirts I've sewn for my girls for Easter. If you haven't noticed, our color scheme this year for Easter is navy and kelly green. I found all three of these fabrics at Wal-Mart, believe it or not. I love these colors and I'm SO thrilled with how these skirts turned out! You can see the elastic waist skirt with sash tutorial here and the tiered petal skirt tutorial here. They will wear these with plain white t-shirts embellished with navy silk flower pins or fabric flowers. I still haven't worked out all the details yet. This skirt was easy to make, but if you find that my tutorial is not easy to follow, please feel free to contact me with questions. Have fun!

Tiered Petal Skirt {Tutorial Link}

I've been busy making my girls' Easter skirts and today I finished the second of three. You can find the first one here. This one today is {in my humble opinion} absolutely adorable!! It is because of the type of skirt, but more importantly, the fabric pattern that it is so cute. I am a sucker for polka dots. Add navy blue to the mix and I'm sold! I found this skirt on Pinterest, but here is a direct link to the instructions. She did an excellent job on the instructions for this skirt. It's very easy, just a little time consuming. {Totally worth it!}

Stay tuned for one more Easter skirt in the next few days!

Reversible Girl's Skirt {Tutorial}

You can make a girl's elastic skirt out of just about anything! I wrote this post the other day showing how to make one from scratch with fabric. Today I'm showing you how to make one from two dinner napkins! No hemming, Just simple stitching. It's amazingly easy. And I bought my napkins at Old Time Pottery for $1 each. They had a variety of colors/patterns, but I liked this one best for a skirt. This skirt is for my size 7 girl. It would probably fit my size 8 girl, as well. You can make these for younger girls, too!

Elastic Waist Skirt {Tutorial}

I'm not kidding you when I say this is the easiest and most versatile skirt there is to make! And everyone can do it. It doesn't take a degree in Home Ec or even an expensive sewing machine. We're talking basics here, people. This tutorial can be used for girls or ladies. Same principles, just different measurements. It's {SEW} easy! Try it. You must! And by the way, this skirt cost me less than $3 to make.

From Shirt to Skirt {Tutorial Link}

Last Fall, my sister over at Less-Than-Perfect-Life of Bliss, wrote about how to make a Ladies' Skirt out of a man's shirt. Well, I immediately went to the closest thrift store in search of shirts that I could cut up and make skirts out of. I found a few, came home and started cutting up a cute plaid shirt to make a skirt for my oldest girl. I got the two side seams sewn when my sewing machine decided to act up. So, I quit working on it and set it aside. I sort of forgot about it until last week when I was cleaning out my stash of projects-to-work-on. And thanks to Hubs for getting me a nicer, more reliable sewing machine for Christmas, I finished it. This time around I tailored it for my middle girl and it works perfectly for her! So, here are my pics. Go check out the extensive tutorial here.

If you make one, leave me a comment with a link to yours! I'd love to see more of these! I love the snaps on this one instead of buttons and my girl loves the pockets!

I have three little girls so anytime I find a cute skirt tutorial, I'm probably going to put it on my list of things to sew. I found the cutest skirt that I know my littles will love to wear. It's going to be great for summer! And I've found some lovely bright colored fabrics for this project.

You can find a great tutorial here. I couldn't have said it better myself. Check out crafterhours.blogspot.com for more great project ideas! It's a fun, informative blog!
