That is just too much. I never knew how to sew the rick rack on so that it looks so great when you fold it over on the bottom. It is just so cute. I don’t think I could have figured that out, so I am glad I have a friend that did.
Whoa. Okay, I didn’t even know you had this blog. Now I do! Now I can feel like a real sludge compared to your creative BRILLIANCE! BTW, I’ll pay you serious cash if you make one of those skirts for my girls (you know how deep my pockets are) : )! LOVE the site. It’s so YOU!
That outfit is so flippin’ adorable that I am giddy right now, dreaming of one for my little one. Thanks for the great tutorial and tips!!

This is killing me with cute. Thanks for the tutorial!
LOVE IT! I saw the tutorial you referred to the other day ~ very cool that you put your own twist on it. I have two girls who LOVE skirts and with spring (hopefully soon) coming, I can’t wait to make some! Thanks for the tutorial!
I love it! Thanks for the tutorial.
skirts like these make me wish I had little girls… for now, I’ll have to settle for sewing for my nieces. I’ll link to your fabulous tutorial from my blog http://www.kojodesigns.blogspot.com!
Thanks for the great tute! I made matching skirts for my daughter and a friend and posted a link back to your site. Love them!
What a great ric rac trick!
Thanks for this tutorial. I had a lot of fun combining it with Pink Picket Fence’s tulle skirt… Good stuff!
I love the skirt and diaper bag, do you make these to order? let me know!
Woman, thank you so so much because my daughter has asked me about a skirt like this and we found gorgeous fabric, i’M A COMPLETE dumb rabbit and I can barely sew but I’m definetelt gonna take the chance, thanks for sharing this for free!
Wow…I think I may try this one even though I hae never made clothes before only straight line stitches….is this too much of a project for a beginner? Very cute-
Thanks for all of your tutorials. I love your blog. I’ve got 3 girls (two are twins) and these skirts came out so adorable for Christmas. I posted one on my blog and linked back to yours. http://www.craftychicka.blogspot.com. I just finished the second one and I’m moving on to the third. They are so full and fun. Thanks for sharing your talents with all of us!!
Just wanted to say thank you for sharing!! I have one little girl and 3 boys. So it is fun to make her some fun things. Also thank you for posting it for free. I do hope people play nice!! As we can’t afford to pay for a pattern and then fabric on top of that, these day’s. You can buy clothes cheaper then that. But so not as CUTE!! Thank You!!!!
These turn out so cute! Thanks so much for posting the tutorial!!

That is a beautiful skirt! Thanks for sharing. I’m going to have to make a couple for my granddaughters.
I pinned this on Pinterest so I could keep up with where the tutorial was. Hope that was ok! I want to make one for my niece.
I just found this tutorial and your blog! LOVE both! I’m your newest follower!

LOVE this skirt! I’m an honorary grandma to an adorable five year old and I am thrilled to find this cute free pattern (how generous of you!) Here’s a little hint (definitely not original with me…but I love it) Use dental floss and a wide zig zag stitch when you want to gather the waist. It never breaks! :o)
Blessings,
Sunny
