Easy Sew Toddler Skirt
A few weeks ago I came across an Australian online fabric store, Funky Fabrix and immediately fell in love with their fabric collection. After selecting several fabrics that just screamed kids clothes, I realised I needed some patterns. I soon discovered that Funky Fabrix has an awesome collection of patterns. I purchased several and took a risk with a downloadable pattern, too.
The downloadable pattern I purchased is by Whimsy Couture and is called Skirt, Plain or Ruffled 6m - 12yrs PDF Pattern. It was so easy to follow, no pattern to print out as you just start with a basic rectangle, and I had it made and ready to wear in two hours.
The fabric is a Michael Miller and was purchased locally.
I also used my Sizzix Butterfly die and appliqued a matching fabric butterfly to a bought t-shirt.
Keeping the theme going I also made this gorgeous hair piece!
First I made a yoyo, then I made a self-cover button using the contrast fabric and because I am lazy :) after pulling the thread tight to make the yoyo I continued with the same thread to sew the button and the hair clip to the yoyo at the same time. Batabim bataboom, done!
A recent trip to the 'big smoke' resulted in a big spend up at Spotlight! Stay tuned for some more gorgeous outfits! Coming soon!
You are so clever and creative. I like the idea of a skirt that doesn't even need you to print out the pattern. Your hairpiece is just so lovely too.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Ness :) I wasn't expecting for there not to be a pattern, but after reading the simple easy to follow instructions I thought 'Oh, obvious!'
DeleteAww, she looks so cute and i love that fabric....you have been so busy with all this sewing and cake making !!! Thanks for the Funky Fabrix link...i have been trying to find somewhere online!
ReplyDeleteLook out for the sale fabrics. I picked up some nice summer short material for the boys and a gorgeous fabric for a wrap skirt for me. Every now and again they also have a discount code on the home page, don't miss that (I did on my last order, bummer!)
Deletethat's so cute! what darling fabric. thanks so much for linking up to tip-toe thru tuesday!
ReplyDeleteI fell in love with the fabric immediately, it just cried out to be made into a cute skirt :)
DeleteI LOVE Funky Fabrix too. Oh, I could spend so much there. Adorable skirt. If only I had girls...
ReplyDeleteI know! Having a girl has given me licence to create lots of girly stuff, that I would never have done if it was only the boys :)
