Last year while Nikki was in the throes of writing her now-just-released book I did a spot of pattern testing for her. Especially twirly whirly girly skirts.
My girls wear these skirts all the time. The instructions for easily making these skirts for any sized child from toddler to teen (and adult if you like!) are all in the book.
I love the bias binding embellishment on the red one – idea stolen directly from Nikki. The blue skirt below has a Farbenmix inspired overlay.
I made even more of these but have somehow failed to photograph them all. These skirts work all year around depending on the fabric that you choose and the embellishments that you use. The girls love their twirly whirly skirts – and I do too!
(That last photo is a year old and Stella looks so young!)
Doesn’t Stella look little? She’s grown so much!!
(Oh, and it’s no surprise thsat my girl lives in twirly skirts, too!!)
The skirts, and the girls, are just gorgeous.
These are gorgeous Lara – and I am so going to steal Nikki’s bias binding idea too – I love that red skirt.
