We have added some lovely fabric ranges to the website this summer, including this one from Red Rooster fabrics

They are gorgeous summery colours so I thought I would make some little skirts for my younger nieces, they are very simple to make, I just used a rectangle of fabric for each skirt, some pretty bias binding to enclose and hem the bottom edge

trimmed with a piece of red lace

joined the side seam

Turned over the waist and thread through some elastic (I used pinking shears to finish the edge of the fabric)

And thats it, a really quick and easy make! I made 3 and trimmed them with a variety of ric-rac, lace and bias binding

Of course I couldn’t make a skirt for my littlest nephew so I made him a little pair of shorts with the cute Michael Miller Dinosaur fabric

I will be seeing them all next weekend so I will try and get them to model their outfits for me and post a few pictures.
