The Buttercup Skirt: A Tutorial


About a year ago I picked up a  remnant at Joann's;  it was this darling yellow floral fabric, but I only had about a quarter yard of it.  There are only so many things that you can do with a quarter yard of fabric, and this project is one of them (alright, so this used two separate quarter yard cuts, but still very little fabric).  I call it the buttercup skirt.


This little skirt has two layers, and a very slight paper bag waist. I made a 0-3 month skirt, and I'll give you my dimensions, but you could easily adjust the pattern to fit your little one.  The pattern is really simple.

Materials:

2-1/4 yard pieces of material
16" of 1" elastic
Coordinating thread
12 inches of ribbon
Fray check
Sewing supplies
30 minutes of uninterrupted time
