Grand Revival that is.
This skirt was made up using some of the Erin McMorris Park Slope range that I showed you back here, using a free tutorial (don't you love a free pattern from the web) known as the ruffled skirt from Grand Revival.
It's a well written and easy to follow tutorial and would suit a beginner as well as more advanced sewers so give it a go.
I'd go so far as to say that this is a small fit - the pattern says it's a size 5-6 so I made it from that wanting it to fit a girl about to turn 4 and I think it will just be OK, hopefully not too small.
I have plans to do an appliqued T to go with it but that hasn't happened yet.
Stay tuned.
Thanks for the link! I love the fabric you've used - I was eying it off the other day in my local fabric shop :)
ReplyDeleteLooks great - will be interested to see how it fits the recipient.
ReplyDeleteThis looks beautiful. I'll definately give this tutorial a go. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteWow this looks fantastic! I'm off to check out this tutorial now. Thanks for the tip!!
ReplyDeleteLove your blog! I too have an affinity and obsession for fabric but cannot sew like you! I'm more of a beginner and can sew really easy shapes like squares and rectangles for curtains and bedspreads. Anyway, I see you have 3 girls and I have 3 boys...I'll look forward to seeing more of your beautiful creations! Keep up the great work! Samantha
ReplyDeleteJust gorgeous Karen, love the colours.
ReplyDeleteThat is a lovely skirt, I think the colours go beautifully (of course I always love brown and pink together!)
ReplyDeleteLove your skirt, turned out better than mine. Love that park slope fabric. Must try another grand revival!
ReplyDeleteI was so sure I had left a comment before but it looks like it didn't go through.
ReplyDeleteI love the skirt, beautiful fabrics and lovely pattern. I really wish the dollar is stronger so I can buy the Park Slope fabric.
