I’ve
yet again put a little pressure on myself by making my two plus my two nephew’s
outfits to wear on Christmas day. With my oldest being 8, I figure this might
be the last year of being matchy matchy. And if I think about it, I would have
hated matching my sister for Christmas but she is nearly 8 years younger than
me so pretty hard to convince a 14 year old to wear the same as a 6 year old. However,
everything is a little different when you are the mum!!

Ann
from 1 Puddle Lane has been making gorgeous children’s clothes for many years.
She then branched out into women’s wear under her label Audrey Lane. She then
turned her talents into pattern design and let me tell you, after making this
skirt – I’m totally convinced.
This
skirt was her first pattern and she hasn’t stopped with gorgeous dresses for
girls (next on my list) and women (yes I might make something for me!).
My
version could quite possible be the more boring you have ever seen made but the
boys are getting the same fabric in shorts and I wanted to keep it the same. I’m
really thrilled with the results as I think it takes this quite simple fabric
and makes the skirt the design feature.

| Do you think she loves this skirt?!? |
With a
flat front, elastic back waist and the big sash bow, this basic skirt truly has
a little wow factor. I can’t wait to try the variations with contrast hems and
bands.
I made
a size 6 skirt for my almost going to be 6 in February Miss 5. I really should
have taken all her measurements first as she is probably closer to a size 4. I
had to take the back in quite a bit to make it fit. Not saying that the
measurements are off – she is just that skinny!!
The
skirt is available to purchase online or hint hint, nudge nudge, sign up for
Ann’s newsletter and you receive a free copy!! Wait – free. Woohooo!

| Miss 5 LOVES the big bow! |
Will I
make this again? - absolutely.
Will I
make this to sell for Lil Pip? – not at this stage
Fabric: Tilda fabric. It’s a solid
very bright neon green that I struggled to match with anything but was PERFECT
for Christmas skirts and shorts this year.
Difficulty (1-10 scale with 1 being easy
and 10 hard): Honestly this is a great quick and easy sew. It is a step up from
a basic rectangle using a few different techniques but nothing a beginner
sewist couldn’t do. I say a 4 or 5 on my scale.
Time: Took me maybe 2 hours
including cutting the fabric.
And my outtake photos. Gosh she cracks me up!

ReplyDeleteI recently tried out the Molly Skirt pattern by 1 Puddle Lane Pattern Studio and I absolutely loved it! The instructions were clear and easy to follow, making it a breeze to sew up. Plus, the end result was a beautifully fitting skirt that I'm proud to wear. Now, as I'm exploring project management research proposal topics, I'm curious if there's any connection between sewing patterns like this and effective project planning. If anyone has insights or resources on this, I'd love to hear about it!
