| Ginger Skirt Pattern by Colette Patterns My 15 [almost 16 eeeeh] granddaughter found a button up corduroy skirt on line.. She really liked it, but it was expensive.. She ask me if I could make it? I went through my patterns and had no skirt patterns that fit her!!! What is a grandma to do??? Hack a pattern that I already had.. I love this skirt pattern.. I have made several of them for myself.. I love colette patterns.. They are multi-sized. starting at a zero.. PERFECT... all I needed to do --- open up the front and close up the back. I added extensions to the fronts to fold over my facings.. I did make a straight /small waist band , instead of the waistband pattern that came with it. Check out Colette's patterns.. Love them. I bought her a t-shirt and some stockings to wear with it. She is really excited.. Callie will be here this weekend.. I will get a photo of her wearing this out fit. And post it for you to see. Note... I finished Emily's Valentine Dress also.. Will be posting Her photo wearing it soon.. Hope you have a wonderful weekend. |
