Know a friend who likes to sew for their kids? This is an adorable skirt for a girl! Just follow the directions!

This fun Groovy Gathered Skirt would be perfect for any little girl!  The stretch allows for fits for all sizes and girls are sure to love the twirly ruffles!  When it comes to kids clothes, homemade is the way to go!
 Groovy Gathered Skirt
Materials:
  • Waist band: 2 pcs. (12" x 4")
  • Skirt: yop layer 2 pcs. (16" x 5")
  • Bottom layer (plain) 2 pcs. (16" x 7")
  • Sewing machine and thread
     
Instructions:
  1. Let's start with the waist band. Bring the short sides together, wrong side facing together, sew straight stitches 1/8" away from the seam. Sew both short sides.

    Groovy Gathered Skirt
     
  2. Turn your waist band inside out. Fold on the crease where you have sewn the straight stitches and sew straight stitches 1/4" away from the edge. We've just made a french seam.  Do the same to the other short side.

  3. Fold twice (1/4" folded twice under) one of the longer side of your waist band (this will be the top part of your waist band) and sew a hem with straight stitches. Repeat the same steps for the top and bottom layer of your skirt.

  4. Sew gathering stiches on the unsewn side of your skirt pieces.

  5. Gather your skirt pieces.

  6. Place your top skirt inside your bottom skirt.

  7. It would look like this when viewed from the gathered side of the skirt.

  8. Sew straight stitches 1/4" away from the raw edge of the skirt pieces just a little above the gathering stitches.

    Groovy Gathered Skirt
     
  9. You can finish it with zigzag stitches, coverstitch, overlock stitch. Or better yet, serge it!

    Groovy Gathered Skirt
     
  10. Turn your skirt inside out. Topstitch on your waist band.

    Groovy Gathered Skirt
     
  11. With elastic thread, begin sewing shirring stitches on your waistband.

  12. Now, you have a layered gathered skirt with shirred waist.

Some new additions to my Online Store, and new and improved ones; the way they were supposed to be!

Adding to, and sprucing up former others, to their full potential, like they should have been designed, the first time! Going to take my time; in order, to turn out my fully completed, quality products; that I am accustomed to! No more hasty work; just to reach a certain goal! I am too much of a perfectionist! Any, of my family, and friends, will attest to that! lol This is one of them, that had a complete overhaul; from plain Bob (we will call him), a 'Rags to Riches' makeover! lol Oh, and, I will, also, show you one of my bear ornaments (if that is how it is chosen to be used) that I just completed, from start to finish; and gave as my contribution, for a Swap, held right here, on FB! http://www.bearheartbottomsetc.com/

One of my BFF father, with his Band's Video!!!! They are AWESOME!!!!



I had to share this!  My girlfriend shared this ... her father, with his band! He is the one, second, from the right; on the saxophone! He, also, plays a solo; as the rest of the band members! She plays, also, but, gave it up to raise, and take care of her family; however, she plan on starting up, again! She just lost her husband; who succumbed to Cancer, about a week, ago! May he R.I.P. It was one of his last wishes that she start playing, again! And, I think that she should; and ASAP, as music is GREAT therapy! I love this! I view it as her husband's send-off music; although that was not the intent (but,it is so fitting, and, to me, at this time, represents music of the celebration of a life); I find it captivating, as well as awesome!  It moves, and stir up, emotion, in me.  Who knows, God does work in mysterious ways!  The video, and the music, is awesome! My girlfriend's family are from the Homewood-Flossmoor Area, of Illinois!  You can, also, find this on You Tube!


YOU WILL LOVE THIS!!!!!  ESPECIALLY, IF YOU LOVE JAZZ!  PLAY IT!  IT IS AWESOME!


L8r!  #Bear Luv and Hugz!  


AND, AWESOME HUGZ TO ALENE!!!!  The re-posting of this is my 'dedication, and send off, to her husband,' and his memory; for her family!  I am sure that he will be, SORELY, missed; by his family and friends!  I AM SO SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS, ALENE!  I am sure that he, through his LOVE, and his guitar (Yes, folks, he played a musical instrument, also); that he has added his own variation of music, style, and more, to the family!  R.I.P.
