Skirts

My little girl loves to wear skirts, so I decided that I would try and make her some! I've never really made a skirt or anything like it so I needed an easy tutorial. I looked around and this is what I found, they are super cute and easy to make. They are called "The Market Skirt". The first one I made, I made it exactly how they said to do it but without the pockets. Then I decided to use some leftover fabric from another project and I made her another one with the pockets... I think they look super cute! After I had made those two skirts I figured I could do a really nice one for her birthday. The 3rd one I made I changed it up quite a bit, I used french seams so there's no edges showing and it really makes it look really nice. Then instead of doing a bottom ruffle I just made a thick trim around the skirt. I had some extra fabric and I made a cute ruffled tank top with it. Anyways you guys should try this tutorial out!
