Massive twirlability here!
A few weeks ago Zoe informed me that I never made her anything anymore and that I only make things for other people, well didn't that make me feel guilty! I gave her my Ottobre mags to told her to choose something. Of course she chose the most difficult and time consuming thing out of all the magazines that I have! The One Fine Day patchwork ruffle skirt from Issue 1/2009.
After getting my head around the pattern, which took quite a while I must say (#1 I'm not good at patterns & #2 this is pretty complicated) I got started, and really it wasn't that hard. Used up lots of cotton and brain space, but gosh it was worth it!
And I got it finished just in time for her 6th birthday party!
I changed the pattern a little bit by using commercial binding and I added a panel to the top of the skirt as it was a little too short for her.
What do you think?I would have loved a skirt like this when I was six!
