Definitely some wishful summer sewing going on here... we're not even close to shorts weather here yet, although it did feel quite warm this past Sunday!

Ballet Skirts

2 skirts in an hour? 3 rows of stitching each? I wish skirts for me were this easy.


Vaguely based on this tutorial from Dana Made It, following kiddo measurements from this downloadable size chart at Sugar Tart Crafts (since I don't have easy access to my nieces to measure them). I ended up having to tighten the elastic on one of them, but otherwise the measurements worked for me.


The fabric is this striped ballet quilting cotton from Belleboo. Quite twee for my taste (I do not aime le ballet), but I knew my nieces would be all over it. 


And they were, although, wow, it's hard to get photos of little kids. New found respect for all those sewists out there getting professional looking shots of their kids!
