would like to make a knee length skirt for my 10yr old, BUT cant make it as nice as what the fine sewers here make.
What I have done in the past is use a circle skirt (poodle skirt pattern, use the fold so there is no side seams, make it 3 layers, but just not full as to what I have seen. I am successfull in adding the fishing line, I just dont know how to make it full. And is it a pull on skirt or is there snaps etc on doing it up.
Thanks so much to whom can help me out

You can google the name and purchase it online. Sometime she is a little slow to respond. If you don't have any luck, let me know and I can try to help you. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

The previous replies to your note are both correct. Layers don't really matter and pettioats are usually required. Here are a coulpe of other tips that may help. The petticoat is usually made from the same organza as the skirt. This makes it tough to tell what is skirt and what is petticoat. Secondly, the number of layers is not the key. It's the nymber of circles. One circle is not enough. You need at least two. One full circle on the front bodice and one on the back. Get out those math skills. You know, the one's that you said you would never use when you were in school. Good luck.
