White Ruffley Skirt

I bought a cute blue and white polka-dotted shirt for Miss K last fall on clearance. She didn't have any bottoms that matched it, so I made up a white skirt on Saturday. Unfortunately, when I put the top and skirt together, they didn't look so great. But, I still love the skirt.
I made the top section with the elastic casing and then cut two rectangles for the bottom, one rectangle being longer than the other. I sewed cotton lace to the bottoms of both rectangles and then took the longer rectangle and sewed in elastic thread every six inches to create the ruffles. Then took both rectangles basted them together, gathered and sewed them to the top section. Pretty easy.
I really like how it turned out. I'm probably all kinds of stupid making a white skirt for a two year old. And even though it doesn't match the shirt I made it for, it looks really cute with a dressy t-shirt

  1. That turned out really cute! Was it just one line of elastice thread? Great job, as usual.
