I have been dreaming about this skirt for a couple of months now. It is part of my thought process of "what to make for tweens" and better yet, it is also one of those incredibly easy skirts that I adore to make. I made a mock-up prototype skirt about a month ago, but didn't like how short the peplum ruffle part was, so I remade it this week with a longer ruffle and it is exactly what I had envisioned. I am giving you the measurements I used for a girls waist size 5/6 although the ... View the Post
Thrifted Thursday—The Endora Top..a Tutorial
A few weeks ago I bought a garbage sack sized "grab bag" of vintage fabric at a thrift store. It was pretty awesome---full of all sorts of 1960 something goodness like the fabric I made this shirt out of. Now, I'm not really sure what kind of fabric this is...all I know is that it's old, blousy, and I LOVE IT. (And it reminded me of something that Endora, Samantha's mom, would have worn on "Bewitched"...) Anyways, this afternoon I was looking at it and decided to make Grace a little ... View the Post
A Bubble Skirt Tutorial
Or maybe the title of this post should be "how the Vintagely Modern Skirt became a Bubble Skirt." For this skirt I took The Vintagely Modern Skirt tutorial and made it a bubble skirt (or you can use any fuller skirt pattern, for that matter). Here's what you need: *your skirt material (I used about 1 1/4 yards of Kona cotton in "Butter Yellow" for a girls size 6) *your skirt lining material (I used just about a half yard) *matching thread *button (or elastic if you want an ...

Peter Pan Collar Tutorial
I have been dreaming about this project for a while and then, when I saw THIS I knew it was time to do something about it and make some removable peter pan collars for all sorts of outfits. First things first, I LOVE peter pan collars. Like some serious love. I think I have put them on about half of the girl's dresses I have ever made, and the other half---well, I certainly debated it. So, now we have some removable collars that can go on those dresses too! Wahoo! (Am I crazy? Ok, you ... View the Post
The All You Need is Love Skirt
Last month I shared this skirt tutorial over at Somewhat Simple but thought I better put it up over here before Valentine's Day was over. (Although, if you are like me---you haven't really thought about Valentine's Day yet....) I'm calling this skirt the "All You Need is Love Skirt" but it could be called "The World's Easiest and Most Inexpensive DIY Valentine's skirt". (It's made out of a dollar store T-shirt and some scrap felt and took me less than an hour from start to finish.) Here's ... View the Post
The Hostess Cupcake Skirt
What do you get when you mix National Chocolate Cake Day (which is today) with $5 Friday? Well, if you're me you get this: Early this week when I saw that today was Chocolate Cake Day I decided that I wanted to make Grace a little something fun. So while rummaging around my craft room of doom I found a left over scrap of brown fabric and the idea was born. If you want to make one of these skirts it's so simple and you hardly need anything. Supply List: #1. A piece of fabric long and ... View the Post
