Version 2.0

I couldn't stop with just one...

Isn't this fabric great?  I received it from roseandpie last month in exchange for a patchwork belt.  Super swap if you ask me.

I used bias tape on the hem and for the tie this time around.  I also increased the length of the skirt a wee bit to have a self-casing at the waist.  So easy.  Really, it was.  If enough of you want instructions, I can add them to the twirly skirt tutorial.

I forgot to fold in the ends of the bias tape before I sewed it together for the tie.  Instead of getting the stitch ripper out, I decided to tie little knots and pink the ends.  And you know what?  My mistake wasn't a mistake after all.  I love this little touch.

how could you stop at just one? if my sewing machine was working (!) i'd be making one RIGHT NOW!

and the fabric is awesome - the kind of thing that will match just about anything!

What a wonderful skirt! Is it wrong to want to make one for myself?! :0)This will be in my daughter's futre, no doubt.

Another very cute one! I plan on making my daughter one but since she wears a whopping size 160 in Hanna's, I will need to increase the sizing. I'll post a pic when I get it done! Thanks again for the tutorial.

I love the skirt. When I first saw that fabric I thought you had used an old quilt! The fabric is really cool.

Yay Erin. Thank you so much for taking the time to do the Twirly Skirt tutorial. I might try and do it this Long Weekend. It's a toss-up between Taxes or a Twirly skirt :o)

[Christine]

Followed the link from the CRAFT blog- I don't have any daughters (or any sons for that matter!) so I might just have to make one for myself! Doesn't matter that I'm 27 does it?!

Adorable fabric. Your girls are going to be the best-dressed gals on the playground!

Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU for this tutorial! You have made my day!!! :)

I love this material- it has a sentimental feeling for me. My mom, who passed away 5 years ago, made each of her children a quilt out of it. I would love to find some to make aprons for my sisters. Do you know where I can find any? Thanks.

Hi
I just wanted to drop a line to say a big thank you for the tutorial that you made of this skirt. I've had a go - my first foray into sewing for quite a while...it turned out great and has well and truly bitten me with the sewing bug once more.
