A Little More Sewing - Reversible Skirts

There are lots of fabulous reversible skirt tutorials out there, but The Simple Reversible Skirt Tutorial from Fashioned By Meg was just what I needed to have a go.  These are so easy!  I tried to get Olivia to try them on for me so I could take some photos but she declined.  Apparently she only likes them "a tiny bit"... *sigh*  Well, I think they're cute.  And I think I did a darn good job for my first go!


I decided to keep one side plain.  I don't know about anyone else, but we always seem to have the problem of too many patterns amongst Olivia's clothes.  Sometimes you just need a plain skirt.  :-)


I used a double row of stitching along the bottom instead of adding a trim.  Hmmm... my sewing is a little bit CAS too, isn't it?!



These waistbands couldn't be easier...



Thanks so much to Meg from Fashioned By Meg for the fabulous tutorial!

  2. These are awesome DD, you've done a fabulous job! Even with a boy I find too many 'clashing' patterns in clothing a lot of the time. Plain is good!

  4. They're super cute! I kinda understand's Olivia's opinion - my grandma used to make me skirts like that all the time. I always struggled with the bunched up fabric at the elastic. Sometimes it got a little uncomfortable. That always depended on the fabric though. Also, to get it to stay on, the elastic was sometimes too tight for my liking.
