Ruffles and twirls

Last night i finally made a wee skirt for K, I have been procrastinating  planning on making this skirt for a while now.

It wasn't a total success, I tried to scale down the size a little because the tutorial was for a 5/6 year old. Well it ended up only just fitting around the waist and is much shorter than it should be, so I think the next time I make it I will make it as shown and just bring the waist in a little.

It was only ever meant to be a little summer, playing in the garden skirt, (especially after it went a bit wrong) but K was soooooo excited to see it this morning and wanted to wear it to the cinema, so she wore it with her cosy tights and boots.





She is cute enough to pull any look off!






For the record, if I ever, EVER mention I am going to use the check fabric for any other project. Please remind me that it almost made me want to jump off the roof, because I can guarantee that by the time the skirt has been washed once, there will be more of that fabric frayed than there is left stitched to the flowered stuff.
 It . was . a . nightmare .
