Oh my goodness. She is the cutest little girl. Perfect little model for your petti-skirt.
oh .....how adorable....thank you for sharing these sweet pictures !!
Such an adorable baby and the skirt is just too cute. Well done. By the way, how long does it take to make one of these and how much fabric do you use for one this age? Love Chris
Chris- not sure about how long they would take to make but the lower edge since it is a nylon chiffon and not having to be turned and stitched could make it not a too time consuming project, just a lot of ruffles. The Martha Steward site stated these top materials as needed,
Satin charmeuse (1 1/2 yards)
Nylon chiffon (about 3 yards)
1-inch-wide ribbon elastic
Iron-on interfacing (1 1/2 yards)

Hope this helps, Pam
Thanks, Pam...I used sparkly bridal tulle and it was 54" wide...it took almost 6 yards...and less than 1/4 yard of the Satin Charmeuse (not sure why the pattern called for so much) ...it really does go quickly once you figure out the ruffle gathering ratio to get each layer of ruffles to the correct length...I used a gathering foot, too...it made it very easy to gather the layers of tulle...
Dragonflyer- good to know that the pattern needed double for bridal tulle and also glad to know you needed far less of the satin chartreuse, glad I had not used the fabric list provided on the site! When sewing I rarely use some companies fabric quotes and will use the actual pattern pieces to figure my own list and then also remember to add material for those that do shrink. Hope I did not lead anyone astray with posting those numbers. It is just such a sweet skirt and would easily be adaptable for larger toddler to young girls.
What a beautiful little girl. She looks adorable in her little pink skirt. Thank you for posting.
Melt your heart! She is so cute! skirt is good too. Lol!
I have to tell you, I really want my own! A skirt, not another baby. This child is gorgeous and the pettiskirt is so pretty on her!
You are so right. Combine a pretty skirt and a cute baby and magic happens.
Oh my this is beautiful - What a dear - Leah is beautiful - you'll have to post a picture when you get one of Penelope!! Hugs to you, Laura*
Cute..her and petticoat. I just saw the blue one in Projects, they both are beautiful, what little girl would not have fun playing, wearing one of these?
Awww she is beautiful and you did a great job with the skirt.
