First though, here is a modeled shot (the best I could get of the girlies) in their chevron skirts from day one. I still want to make some kind of top or bolero for them, but here they are wearing RTW cardigans. Can you tell the one on the left weighs a few pounds more than the other? :)
I made three skirts from the noodle-head tutorial , the same kind as the engagement skirt , but different fabric this time around. They are for the wedding reception, and since all the girls are unmarried and one is 12 I decided it counted for KCW. So there.
Quick and easy like always, I have made this skirt many times before and didn't even have to look at the instructions. I went with waist x 1.5 instead of 2 to make it a little less full, I like it that way best. Hm... What to make tomorrow?
Oh, all the skirts turned out so cute. I have been avoiding making anything for myself because the last try was a total fail. I might have to try out Anna's skirt tutorial since your skirts are turning out so good.
ReplyDeleteI would definitely only do your waist x 1.5... unless you are a size zero, or a kid. I have made it in lots of sizes and think it looks best that way. I had a few fails when I went with waist x2, but that is just my opinion. The tutorial is reallly easy and the results are great!
DeleteDid you end up getting the measurments then or did you wing it? The skirts look great...like lemons and limes.:) And I adore the chevron skirts are your little girls!
ReplyDeleteTotally winged it. Grrr. I waited as long as I could, but since it is elastic it should be forgiving and I serged the bottom and only folded once on the hem, so if one needs to be hemmed it wont need to be unpicked. I want to wash them and make them wear the skirts again, so much cuter in person!!
