Last night when instead of making dinner I made this skirt for Anne. Yes, they got dinner- just kinda late! The lovely Kelle Boyd of AnnKelle sent me this pretty corduroy 1/2 yard back when I did the handmade holidays series with her. I realized that it is February and I needed to use the fabric before spring!
I used this website makeagif to make this GIF. Sorry if it is making you kinda ill to look at it but I thought it was fun and super duper easy if you want to try. The kids are crazy for it!
The pocket on Anne's skirt is a thrifted doily that I got for $.25. I sewed it on and left the top unsewn. It gaped naturally so I folded it down and tied a ribbon bow to finish it off. Cute I think.
This skirt is made the super simple way- take a 1/2 yard of fabric and make a tube. Hem the bottom, cut to the length you want on your girl plus 2" for the elastic casing. Make the casing and add elastic. Voila!
Thank you Kelle for such cute fabric!
Cute fabric, cute skirt, and cute girl. :)

HI.. I just love all your tutorials! I'm sure you know that your pillowcase nightgown made it BIG on Pinterest!! I came to make some for my little girl and it's not pulling up... just wondering if it was a glitch or did you disable it? Thanks so much!

Cute cute cute. Like her stockings too.
I'm glad to hear that you do your STUFF instead of making dinner sometimes. Me too.

Darling skirt - love the colors. Anne is so precious - winning smile and, of course, the freckles!! There must be something about Anne's and freckles - guess we go together!!
