When Amy was in third grade, her friend Audrey did a report on "French Guiana" where her grandparents served as missionaries for our church. One of the things she reported was that the people in that country dress very colorfully, combining stripes, florals, paisley, designs, whatever they feel like. Ever since, we have described many outfits as being from French Guiana.Today, Aubrey wanted to wear the new twirly skirt I made her.
Apparently, she didn't want to change the shirt or hat she was already wearing.
Isn't she beautiful?? I think so!
Skirt tutorial is from this site. (I made a few changes.)
I made one for Sydney too, but neglected to get a photo before she went home.
She matched.

I think she is beautiful! And I love the skirt! I have been wanting to make some stuff for Addy, but I am not the best seamstress in the world. Do you think the skirt is easy enough for someone not so skilled to make?
April, this skirt is super-easy to sew. It would be even easier if you just picked a cute fabric and didn't have to sew all the strips together. I did make the skirt only 2-and-a-half times the waist measurement instead of four and I made the waistband 4-and-a-half inches instead of 6 inches wide. I like the waistband much better a little narrower. Even 3 1/2" might be enough. Four times the waist measurement is much twirlier and very cute too.
She is so cute. Good work Mom, as usual:)
What a cutie! :) Those are adorable skirts, you are so talented!
Thanks Mother Sargeant! I think I will try it out. Hopefully it goes as planned!
Linda you are so talented! Those skirts are super cute. I can't sew to save my life so nothing home made from this house. my talents stops at scrapbooking. I love seeing all the beautiful things you create! your baby blankets/burp rags are awesome, too!
I love these skirts. Aubrey looks adorable even though she is from French Guiana. Thanks again for your beautiful work!
