Did you know that Prinecesses wear skirts? No? Well they do! And because Miss Charlee is a Princess she must wear skirts. It's very seldom that I can coax her into a pair of jeans or pants. Now that the weather is getting cooler, she's going to need a few more skirts that will keep her stockinged legs warm - a perfect opportunity to give my new sewing machine a workout.
Using this tutorial I went hunting for enough material to make Charlee a new winter twirly skirt. As I didn't have enough, I varied the pattern and made her a patchwork skirt instead, using scraps of cotton drill, denim and corduroy.
She loves it because it twirls. I love it because it's warm and because I was able to use what I had!
