The Ruffle Skirt

I recently saw some really cute skirts that were just all full of ruffles. Whenever I see really cute (really expensive) boutique type items, I am inspired to make one for a fraction of the cost. So, inspired by a $55 skirt, here is my $6 version

Several people have asked for a tutorial for this, and I'm working on it! I've never made a tutorial before so I'm trying to figure it all out, but I'm really excited because that means I get to make more of these skirts.

Come back so you can make your own for the pretty bitty in your life :)

    That is so cute! I love the colors...and the flower at the hip! Is it felt?

    Bethany, yes the flower is felt. Not sure if you can see, but it's the same shape as the flowers in the fabric. Pretty sure it's the first felt flower I've ever made!

    Thanks for the kind words everyone!
    I'm sewing with a friend on Friday and we're making this skirt (actually, we'll be making at least 3 of them) so I'll be able to take step by step photos for a tutorial. But, I'll also have some for purchase next week in my shop...so check it out!
