Ribbon Accent Skirt

So begins SKIRT WEEK!

I am excited to show you how to make some 

SUPER SIMPLE 

skirts!

Let's start off with the simplest first.

I call this the Ribbon Accent Skirt.

It is amazing how a little ribbon can make such a big difference.  

Gather your ribbon, I didn't buy any of this ribbon for this skirt,

I just happen to have all this pink ribbon about. 

But any combination of colors would be SO cute!

I think I am going to make a navy blue one, maybe a purple.....

maybe a yellow with white ribbon....

I'm getting distracted, as you can see... 

Your limits are your own imagination!  

Sew a simple rectangle skirt.

I cut out two 10"x 41" rectangles, and sewed them together. 

I hemmed the bottom and made a casing for the elastic on top.

I didn't add the elastic yet, because it will be a million times easier to sew in the ribbon,

without the elastic in.

Lay out the ribbon. 

This was my original plan on how I wanted the ribbon,

but I got lazy and simplified.  

Sew the ribbon on!

I have mentioned this before, but I will say it again. 

I am not a huge fan on straight pins. 

I don't like taking the time to use them, 

so when I sewed the ribbon on, 

I just went for it! 

And Hey! It turned out pretty straight!

I wouldn't take a ruler to it, but for a not stop 3 year old,

who will be wearing this, 

no one will notice! 

Add your elastic, and your done! 

I thought it needed a little extra something, 

so I made a little burned edge rose that I added on. 

SUPER SIMPLE,

right?

I want to see what you have made so head over to flikr, 

and add your pictures!
