Anyway, this spring Maddy picked up this stack of bright fat quarters and asked me if I could make her something spinny with them. Since fat quarters are pretty small, I thought it might look really cool as a circle skirt, with four panels, kind of like a pinwheel.
If you've never made a circle skirt, it's pretty easy, but it does require some math. I followed the tutorial at Made. I liked her instructions and especially her pictures!
So I took Maddy's measurements, applied said math, and then cut out the eight panels thusly:

Not the best picture, but this was at her preschool Easter Egg Hunt, and I couldn't get her to hold still! |
Cute. And the dress is really nice too.
ReplyDeleteI Love IT! I seriously have got to get my sewing machine back. I am never going to get any better at sewing if I leave it at mom's house forever. I am just going to spend all my time being jealous of beautiful things other people make!
ReplyDeleteShe looks precious, as always, and those colors are perfect.
