Patchwork twirl skirt

My how time flies! 
My baby girl turned 8 years old over the weekend - How did that happen? 

To make this occasion special I told her I would make her something to wear on her big day.  I decided to try my hand at making a twirl skirt. I started out searching Pinterest and other sites online and after mixing about 3 tutorials I came up with the following skirt. Pirate Princesses are the in thing with girls her age so I went with that theme but made it very girly.


I picked out 5 different fabrics and sewed them together to create the main body.


I then added a hem and drop waist to get the length I needed it.


My daughter LOVED her skirt and can't wait for me to make more for her and her sister. 


Thank you for stopping by - I hope you have a great day!
