So this is my first attempt at a wintery skirt for this year.
This skirt is the lazy girl's version of the
Insa skirt from
Sewing Clothes Kids Love. I say lazy girl's, because the pattern pages that come with the book are so thin and flimsy and difficult to navigate, that I had a quick look at the pieces and then followed the directions and this is what I came up with.
I used a mixture of vintage sheets for the underskirt and yoke and some cord for the over skirt.
I sewed on some crocheted butterflies and ric rac and some pink lacy stuff.
Bren doesn't like the elasticized over skirt but I do. It vaguely reminds me of my deb dress, only my deb dress had lots of rosettes in the gathers and was a bit more tizzy.
Jazzy likes it.
I could barely get her to stop twirling during the photo shoot which is always a good sign.
