tutorial : twirly girly skirt

This is the tutorial for twirly girly skirt. the size is 4T-6T.

Since this is the first time im doing a tutorial, i hope its fully understandable, simple and clear. Have fun making it and i'll be please to see what you come up with!

First you will need to cut :

8 pieces of fabrics from the pattern piece for bottom part of the skirt (front and back)

2 pieces of 17" x 9" for upper part of the skirt (front and back)

2 pieces of 3"x 45" for the ruffled edges

* As for the pattern piece, you can download it here

click here for pattern

[this pattern is for PERSONAL use only]

All measurements are approximate.

Sew the pattern pieces Right sides facing and sew all 4 pieces in a row. Do the same with the other 4 pieces.

Gather the long strip (up to 27" long) to make the ruffles and sew it Right sides facing the 4 pattern pieces that you have sewn earlier. Do the same with the other 4 pieces and press the seam allowances up. Now you have the front and back of the skirt pattern pieces sewn with the ruffled edges. Hem the end of the ruffles to neaten it up.

With Right sides together, align the rectangle for the top part with the bottom part (4 pieces pattern pieces) and sew them up as well as the sides. Finish it up with an elastic band.

There you'll have your little one twirling around in her new skirt.

Comments are most welcome!

diaper bag 3

ive finished another diaper bag for this week. phew! i love this fabric so much and it turned into such a beautiful bag. i used up a candy stripe fabric for the pockets. i like it when the bag can stand on its own and not flop around as ive used thick interfacing and have it multiple layers. okay lovely, time to go and work on the next one !

diaper bag 2

Just wanna share some pictures of a diaper bag i did this whole week. yeah it took me a while to get it done. since the kids started school , ive been extremely busy. its still the same fabric from the first bag i did but i used different fabrics for the pockets and linings. it gets much easier the second time round. okay im off for my 3rd now. til then with more up coming pictures.

little red wallet

another wallet i made for a friend recently. she's so into 'english' theme so i picked out this nice little red flower fabric that i had in my stash and turn it into some girly flowery wallet. she hasn't look at it yet. yeah, surprise surprise !

modern diaper bag

let me introduce you to another diaper bag to mark the first project done in the year 2010. i should say that this is the kinda bag that moms gonna love to carry about during their outing with their baby. its the modern diaper bag from amy butler's pattern. its a really large bag but i downsized it by 20% and took off a few inches on the pattern. the instruction requires a magnetic snap button but i substitute it with just a normal snap button. it has 4 large compartments and 2 side compartments for bottles. its well roomy for all your baby's things and the compartments will keep all your baby's stuff organize. lets just say, i totally ADORE this bag.

diaper bag

Yey! I finally get to finish the diaper bag that i started since last week. Its a custom made for Azian with lotsa pockets and two types of straps. a short strap as a large tote bag and a long strap as a sling bag. i should say its more like a convertible diaper bag! the most challenging part in doing it is the top zipper part. apart from that , its also the inner pockets with bands on it. there are two pockets in front of the bag, one large zippered compartment at the back and six inner compartments for diapers, clothing and bottles. its a nice size for daily outing or short trips with baby.

anyway, i started to 'fall in love' with it throughout the making process. i'll definitely make one for myself one day :)
