I asked my five year old granddaughter to help me choose a pattern to make a skirt for her. She chose this one. It's all about the twirl! We then made a trip to Miller Dry Goods in Charm (about 4 miles from my house) where we shopped for fabric. Look at what she chose all by herself! The child has a good eye for color. The blue color in this photo is actually a lavendar shade. You know. Princesses wear pink and purple.
I couldn't wait to get started. I sewed and sewed and used up one spool of thread with a LOT of sewing left to do. I had to stop until I could get to the store to buy the next spool.
I finished just before spool #2 ran out.
And here is the test drive!

Love the twirl, you captured it so perfectly, and the coloours, yes she can choose so well.Enjoy thge littlies. Cheers from Jean.
that brings back memories of all of the clothes I made for my first granddaughter, which were then worn by the next two also. I think your granddaughter is going to be a quilter some day with an eye for colors like that.
Love the twirly photo. She obviously love her new skirt! She has an excellent eye for color too.
Now that is so gorgeous. Great fabric choices and look how happy she is!
I'm Linda's daughter and the granddaughter's mother. My daughter wore the skirt yesterday to a festival (dozens of complements), slept in it last night, is back in it again this morning, and I'm not going to stop her :)
It's wonderful!! Can't believe all you do, and do it so beautifully!
