Sewing Tutorial: Baby Sailor Skirt

Over at Sew Much Ado, Cheryl shares a tutorial for making this cute cute baby sailor skirt. There’s a button bib stitched on the front, but it’s decorative only. The skirt is sewn to an elastic waistband so it’s easy to pull the skirt on to an active, wriggly baby. A couple of deep pleats at the front make it easy for baby to move in the straight skirt. Go to Sew Much Ado for the how-to.
