The spotti-dotti twirling skirt
I love this little skirt - it's made out of a soft poly cotton, with bright coloured spots (or is that dots) in pink and red hues. It is created as a full circle skirt, so perfect twirling capabilities for little girls who love to twirl, and don't they all.

My girls love this skirt - in fact the youngest has two it's such a fave, she got sick of waiting for it to come out of the wash!

I added a sweet little 'lettuce leaf' edging on the hem, so it waves and ruffles. The elasticized waistband is adjustable as the little one grows. I aim to make the skirts (clothes) so kids get at least two seasons wear out of them...It looks pretty dressed up in vintage wears, or as a modern skirt...dressy or casual...A big thanks to the ladies at ODDZanENDZ of Noosa (fabric shop) for their continuing generous advice on technique : - ). They are very accomplished sewers and provide a range of dressmaking services as well as fabric sales.
