Charm squares skirt
I ordered a pack of charm squares ages ago with no specific plan for their use. Last week I chanced upon this tutorial and soon the squares became a skirt for Clare.
The fabrics are all from Moda’s American Jane line. The fabric for the hem and waist bands and ties came from Craft Depot (big thanks to Amy for the heads up on where I could find it – and on sale too!)
I made the ties the full width of the fabric, so they are quite long and wrap around to be tied in a huge bow wherever Clare wants it to be. She had a lovely time deciding which square should go where – it took us ages to get the layout to her satisfaction! Now we hope that by spring this will still fit nicely. It’s bright and colourful and doesn’t contain any PINK! What a lovely change.
It looks fabulous. I love that Claire is such a big part of all your “made for you” projects. It’s very special.
It looks great – Clare must be thrilled!
Very pretty! I love the colors. 🙂
That is adorable Lara – thanks for sharing that tutorial too – I have charm squares looking for a project 🙂
Adorable! Love it!
So sweet that Clare helps decide on the latout – and is obviously quite decisive about it too!
Very refreshingly not pink skirt Lara!
looks good Lara – love the colours all together. How’s your new job going?
That is so lovely and thanks for the link to the tutorial.

Love it Lara!
This is just adorable. It makes me want to be little again so I can wear it.
I am going to be an absolute copy cat and make that skirt too!! Hope you don’t mind but I will credit you will ALL the glory Lara. Just went and bought the charm pack right now so can’t wait for it to arrive. What a gorgeous spring/summer skirt for your poppet!! And mine!! LOL
SO very cute! I wonder if it would look okay on an adult – I’ve got waaaay too many charm squares.
Catching up on blogs on the couch with Dusty at my side – she totally wants this skirt?. Her question “mum, have you got all that material?” It looks fabulous – better get me some charm squares – or get into the stash and make some….
Lovely skirt…thanks for linking to the tutorial. I’m thinking my littlest daughter who is obsessed with skirts would love one tho probably pink might have to be part of it- I have some moda Sweet charm squares that might do the trick!
