Twirl Skirt Revisited

When Aevyn started ballet up again this fall, we realized we'd lost her skirt sometime during the summer.   She had used the Girly Skirt I made last year for ballet a few times, so I thought I'd just make a new circle skirt for this year.  Again I used the tutorial from MADE.

I decided to use a black dance fabric, which was great because I didn't have to finish edges.  I wanted to use some teal and pink details because those are the colors of Aevyn's studio, Abundance Academy of Dance.  I knew my friend, Kate, had a stash of awesome teal elastic, and she generously donated some for me to use!    

My little ballerina loves it!  She likes to have the bow in the front or on the side, but I love it as a fun surprise in the back.  With her hair up in a bun, her neck and shoulders are just adorable!

Girly Skirt

This skirt was a collaboration between Sugarplum and me.  She picked the sequins and silky pink fabric, I made it something she would love to wear.  

It's perfect for curtsying,

and of course, twirling!

Aevyn wore it to ballet last week and loved the feel of it.  

I used the tutorial on MADE for the Circle Skirt.  I did two layers for extra frilly-ness.  I'd like to make a couple more with washable fabrics.   It seriously is so easy!

I'm working on another MADE pattern right now.  Hopefully I'll be posting it soon!
