OK, I finished the twirl skirt. I tried to make it the other night, but I had a heck of a time with the bottom tier. It was huge, with 3 panels around, and the previous panel to attch to had 2 panels. I couldn't seem to gather it with the bobbin thread, and the gathering foot for my sewing machine made it too small. So this evening I divided the tier into 4 parts, and started and stopped the basting at each one of the divisions. I then marked the skirt into 4 pieces, and gathered it piece by piece. That was pretty simple. I guess I don't think that clearly at close to midnight, lol. Some of the folks here had recomended using the butterfly fabric for a ruffle, but I didn't have enough material, so I used it for the center tier. So here it is: http://new.photos.yahoo.com/theresafl2000/photo/294928804377490788/2 and here is the butterfly top and skort I finished the other day, this time with DD in it: http://new.photos.yahoo.com/theresafl2000/album/576460762401068179/photo/294928804377523453/5 Theresa

The blue makes the butterfly fabric really pop. Great outfit and adorable DD. The skort set looks like a comfy play outfit. Good job on both. Thanks for sharing.Marty

Thank you everyone! My confidence has really increased. When my daughter wore the top and skort to school, the same teacher who had made a questionable comment earlier about a jumper I had made for her, asked who had made this outfit for her. So I must be getting better! Theresa

Way too cute as is little miss giggles . I love the skort and top set. . .perfect for the blistering summers we have here. Did you already mention the pattern you used? Maybe I missed it. Great job!

Miss Tara Tara, the skirt is McCalls Easy Stitch 'n Save M5159, and the butterfly top and skort is McCall's 3677. The ruffle on the top I added as it was way too short for her (she is a skinny little girl), and I have since learned to add 2 inches to the length of any tops I cut out for her. Theresa
