Isn't it adorable?!?! It was so easy to put together too! I had some nice rose colored soft stretch knit fabric. I used one of her other skirts to know how big to make it. I cut out one long rectangle (by putting the skirt on the fold of the fabric and cutting out a rectangle the size of the skirt. I then cut three pieces of lace. Each piece was three times the width of the rectangle (so that I would have full ruffles - since this is a petticoat and fullness it what we are going for!). I gathered up the lace and sewed it to the rectangle. I then folded the rectangle (wrong side facing out and sewed the seam. I then folded over the top of the rectangle to make a casing for my elastic, sewed it and then inserted my elastic! I was done!! How easy was that!!!
Now her outfit is complete! It's my turn!! :-) Not doing too much. I just have some lightweight stretch knit sweater material in almost the same color of the dress. I am going to make a ruffled shrug to wear with my
rose and ruffle shirt. Of course I will post pictures when I finish!! :-)
That is really pretty! Love it! I've been telling myself I need to try a skirt with ruffles....one of these days I'll get around to trying it. Can't wait to see the ruffled shrug you have planned to make! :)
