Ruffle Skirts

A couple of months ago I made these cute ruffle skirts for the younger girls, using some measurements and instructions I found in an out-of-print quilting magazine.  They were so easy and the girls love them.  I loved finding the fabric on sale, and I only needed 1 yard for each skirt (about 1/2 yard of each different fabric).  As much as I love long skirts, these shorter ones paired with leggings or tights are so great for active girls…they don’t get caught in bike chains and they don’t get in the way when you’re trying to climb a tree or something!

  1. Thanks, Tanya!

    I need to go through everyone's clothes still. Our weather continues to have some warm days and then some cool ones so I didn't want to put away all the short sleeves just yet!

  2. Karen,

    Thank you! I had so much fun finding coordinating fabric prints for these. The possibilities are limitless.

    I agree about the department stores. Lately I have been able to find so many cute leggings, though. The ones with lace at the bottom are my favorite.
