I completed my third skirt for the Hundred Skirts Project, Garden Party. I am not loving it. That being said, it has flowers and pink ric-rac, so I'm sure that there's a little girl at The Shadow of His Wings orphanage in Guatemala who will love it.
There are a couple of things about the skirt that I do love, such as the pockets. I like these so much, in fact, that I'm hanging onto my template so I can use it again.
I also like the way I placed the ric-rac so that it's only partially showing. I copied this idea from Bloom's Fabric Obsession, where she used it to good effect on 50s-inspired pockets to dress up a simple skirt. Placing the ric-rac like this did entail some hand basting, but these skirts are so small, it really doesn't take any time at all.To learn more about the Hundred Skirts Project, visit Vintage Threads

Adorable! Another cutie!
Oh my goodness, that is adorable! Why do I not use more rick rack? That will definitely make a little girl very happy.
Paula - Sorry to have been gone so long. I've missed all these and can't wait to scroll down to see Skirt #1 and #2. This one is totally adorable. Please don't have a moment's hesitation about it. Some little girl is going to be totally enthralled!! Bless you!
