Saturday morning I got the best gift a girl could get...three uninterrupted hours of sewing (thanks to a very nice husband and cooperative toddler). I spent that time cutting out and sewing up Ella's Bubble Bottom Skirt from Patterns By Figgys.
You gotta love a skirt that you can sew up in a morning. Especially when it comes out this cute!

I've never made a bubble skirt before so I don't know how you typically construct one, but I know that the elastic waist on this skirt was different than a "typical" elastic waist and I love the way it came out.
I made the 18 month size and despite the fact that Baby O will be be 18 months in a couple days it seems a bit big for her, but hopefully that means that it'll still fit her when summer comes around because I don't think we'll be having skirt-weather for much longer.
In the mean time, it appears to be the perfect outfit for gardening.
CUUUUTE! And I love that mermaid fabric. I have a robe out of it myself.
ReplyDeleteThis is so darling! And I love the whole look with the tights and cute grey shoes. I'm very curious to know how you like the Figgy's t-shirt pattern. I'm planning on getting one soon.
ReplyDeleteWhat an adorable sweetheart!
ReplyDeleteI'm so happy you liked the pattern, and also love that fabric.
I'm hoarding my mermaids :)
