Our little friend Louisa is turning 2 and I think a party skirt is definitely in order. She's a blond haired cutie patootie and so you can imagine my relief when I found that I had just enough of this butter yellow linen in my stash to make her a skirt. Phew.
I wanted to make her skirt using fabrics from my existing stash. The problem is that I don't have enough of most fabrics to make any clothing. Good thing that little people clothes don't require much. I had to make the skirt according to what I had which was only a 10" length of the yellow linen. That meant it was going to need a bit of a patchwork border (and yes, that brown polka dot seems to show up in a lot of my projects these days. It's one of my fav's and I'm sad to report that my stash of it is nearly gone!)
Not knowing her exact measurements, I had to take a bit of a guess, but I think the length will be okay. She is a bit of a tiny thing, so the waist may need to be taken in a little. I didn't follow a pattern for this, but wrote down directions as I went so I can pass them along to you, that is if you want to make your own party skirt (You totally do!) I'll get that up later this week.
