School Wardrobe

Butterfly Skirt - Finished!

I finished up the butterfly skirt, which was pretty easy.  The ruffles needed to be attached - the bottom one was gathered and sewn to the bottom of the skirt base.  The upper ruffle was gathered at attached at the lines I had drawn on the skirt, as per the pattern.


After that, it was an easy matter to attach the waist casing, insert the elastic and finish it.


This was a really easy skirt and she's happy with it!  That is it for the school wardrobe, until maybe sometime this winter.  I usually make her a few things over the winter as she outgrows or wears out old pieces.

Parting Shot:  In the Bag.  My son got a bag from the local library for reading a required amount of books and Wellie has already claimed it.

Very pretty. Butterflys seem to be around a lot on fashion at the moment.

Congrats on finishing your daughter's school wardrobe. I've been following along every summer for inspiration for my daughter's school wardrobe.

I finished one dress last night and hope to finish a top from the same pattern tonight.

The blue butterflies remind me of the rare El Segundo Blue butterfly.
