For Ellie

Well, it's actually for Maren. For Maren's Birthday (which was back in February!) I know, I'm such a good sister! I promised her I would make a skirt for Ellie. Maren came over one night before her birthday and picked out material from the material I had for Ellie's skirt. The pattern I was going to use was called the Nie Nie Ruffle skirt.



I cut out all the pieces a while ago, but they sat by my sewing machine for months. I was waiting for a night that I could do it all at once, and I knew it would take me a long time. Last night I finally started at 8pm. And 4.5 hours later...I still wasn't finished. So many ruffles! But I finished today! And it only took me 1 more hour. It would have taken me longer today but there are only 4 ruffle layers on Ellie's skirt instead of 6 like in the pattern. Check out all those ruffles!





It was fun to make because it was the first real time I used my serger. It's not the best serger but it works for me! It was so easy to finish all the edges. I can't wait to see it on Ellie. I hope you like it Maren! Happy super-late Birthday!

Speaking of ruffles, the other day, I found Hannah wearing 4 of her most fluffy tutus. They were sticking out so far. It looked hilarious.





Silly girl. So photogenic.
