Tutorial: Girl’s pettiskirt with layers and layers of fluff

by

Ashley from Make It and Love It shares a tutorial on her blog showing how to make this fabulous pettiskirt for girls.  The layers and layers of ruffles and fluffles will be soooo much fun for little girls to twirl around.  AND they make for adorable photos, too!  These skirts look like they’d be difficult to sew, but using pre-cut rolls of nonfraying chiffon and gathering the fabric on your sewing machine makes it go quicker than you’d think.  Go to the tutorial.

  2. Careful if you’re not US based. I was thrilled the see the lady supplies the details of where to buy the fabric, but this store charges insane extra charges to ship internationally (an extra $19 per shipment). So although the fabric is real cheap, with postage it becomes not such a good option.
    (note I contacted them too and they aren’t very friendly, and definitely not interested to lower their handling cost not even when I’d be interested in buying nhuge quantities.

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.
