Callie in her Colette Ginger Skirt [hack]

              Callie spent the weekend with us.. She had worn 
               her  ginger skirt to church, so I took  some photos
              of her wearing it.. 
                      NOTE..click on the photos to see a close up.



Callie Noelle- 15 yrs old
Wearing  the Ginger Skirt [Colette]
Sweet  Callie ... 2/19/2017


This skirt was an easy make.. I used the Ginger skirt
pattern. I closed up the back [instead of putting the
zipper in]. I opened the front and added  2 1/2 inches 
to each front piece  for a fold over facing.  I did 
not use the waistband pattern , that came with the
skirt. I used a straight narrow  band. [Callie
had found a RTW skirt on line , and that is how it
was made.]
She loves her new skirt.. And that is what pleases Maw..

Hope you have a blessed day.

  10. I just love the skirt! It turned out so pretty, and I love the little fullness on the hem where it flares out a bit. It is fun when you make something and it turns out so great, AND the person you made it for likes it!
