Next time, I'll be doing a gather skirt instead of straight to give it more fullness. Im still not done with this one- I have to sew on the applique and make the bow applique to go on it as well.
Basically all I did -
Took a 2T Toddler Shirt- cut it off about halfway up.
Took a yard of fabric- pinned the fabric to the shirt right sides together. Cut with a little extra on the ends for a seam.
Sewed up the seam in the back wrong sides together. Then repinned the shirt to the skirt part.
Sewed a zig zag stitch to connect them rather then a straight stitch
Hemmed the end ( and fyi I have no toddlers. or kids for that matter right now, so i guessed on the length. Good thing with this is you can always cut and re-hem!)
Then added my appliques i cut out from the remaining fabric ( in this case the mouse ears and I used pinking sheers to give it a cute edge once i zig zag it on) Ill use black for the bow.
Ta da!
I had fun doing this. It was pretty darn easy. And a lot of fun to do.
