Tutorial: Crossover skirt and ruffled petticoat for a little girl’s dress

Chelsea from GYCT Designs shows how you can create a crossover skirt with a ruffled petticoat for a little girl’s dress. This would make a beautiful Easter dress!  The skirt is made with angled ends overlapping at the front, with a ruffled petticoat peeking through.  She uses this with her Holly & Ivy Dress, but this will work with any little girl’s dress pattern that has a basic bodice and gathered skirt.  You’ll keep the bodice but replace the skirt using her tutorial.

Easy Cosmetics Bag Sewing Pattern

The bag is simple, uses very little fabric (about 2/3rds of a fat quarter), has no fussy inside pockets (although you can add your own if you like), and takes me well less than 30 minutes to print the pattern, cut out and sew. But quick and simple doesn’t mean it’s not awesome!

It’s the sort of bag that is versatile enough to be used for lots of applications, not just cosmetics and toiletries. Keep all your pens and pencils in order, use it for a small first aid kit for the car, keep it in your desk at work for a few headache pills and other personal supplies.

Make some for yourself, for gifts or to sell.
