Usually when ever I finish a sewing project I put my machine away for at least a few weeks before I am ready to start another, but recently all I want to do is sew. The day after I finished the shirred top I saw this and wanted to try my own version of it.
This was the first sewing project I have ever done without using a pattern! It did take me a few hours but I love it and it fits Charlotte and Elsie. I didn't take a picture of the back but the ruffle goes all the way around and I used a single button at the top to fasten it so it hangs slightly open in the back. Perfect for the 100+ weather we were having last week!
The skirt I made a few months ago from a pink fig pattern with fabric I found at walmart for $3 something a yard.

I had no idea you were such a great seamstress! These things are adorable....and you have the cutest model in the world to show them off. Your mom sews beatifully, I am guessing you've gotten a few pointers from her :)
