Twirly Skirts from Pink Fig Patterns

A few months ago I found some darling skirt patterns from pink fig patterns. One has strips of fabric and one is a patchwork skirt. I intended these skirts for Aria, but they were just so cute that I wanted to do some for Michela as well. So I took the girls to American Quilting, this awesome fabric store here in Orem, and let them pick out the fabrics. Michela had such a hard time deciding, she hates choosing. Aria even showed me some fabrics that she liked, of course they were pink! We came away with 13 different fabrics for 4 adorable skirts.
The girls wore the stripe skirts to the temple the other day. Here is Aria looking so precious. And here is Michela looking so beautiful.

When we got home I decided to do a little photo shoot of them in the patchwork skirts. The pictures turned out so cute. I love sister pictures. Here are some close ups of the skirts.

I had so much fun making these adorable skirts! They were super easy to make and I kind of assembly lined them. I cut all the fabric out for all of the four skirts at once. Then I sewed everything together, serged all at the same time and put hem and waistbands on them all at the same time. It took longer to get one skirt done, but at the end I had all four done together. Thank you Pink Fig Patterns for such a super cute pattern design. I will definitely be making these again.
