Linky Party and Giveaway!

Linky Party #2 and Bubble Skirt Giveaway!
Sew it off and Show it off!
The Bouncy Bubble Skirt

Since I've been in the mood to try new things lately - small sewing challenges to myself - I thought I'd try making something different for my little girl. So I thought - how about a bubble skirt? Do you ever get stuck on making the same things over and over? I had been making my little girl dresses lately and I could dress her in sweet dresses everyday! So...to mix things up a bit she needed this bubble skirt! And I needed a new challenge. :)

I came across this tutorial: http://getyourcrafton.blogspot.com/2009/12/rooty-tute-tuesday-bubble-skirt.html and gave it a try.

This was, I have to say, a quick sewing project which I love! It took about 30 minutes - so I will definitely be making plenty more! I already bought some striped corduroy to make another one.

Here's another tutorial for a reversible bubble skirt: http://sewhipmama.wordpress.com/2010/01/26/the-bubble-skirt-tutorial/

Now it's YOUR TURN! What have you been making?

Thank you so much for coming over to LBT and leaving some love. I really, really appreciate it. I am a brand new follower and just posted to your link party (a little late, huh?). I will be back, A LOT! You have given me the inspiration I need to get on one of these bubble skirts. I think they are too cute and yours turned out wonderful!!! Thanks for the links to the tute's.

I'm working on a Mommy sized upcycle which I'll be posting later today. Come check it out later and follow back if you get a chance. Thank you so much!

Thanks for stopping by my blog and inviting me over! I had fun looking around!

Thanks for stopping by earlier, I think the little strawberry pattern would look great on your little girl! I agree the button at the back is a super easy way of fastening the opening, just a loop and a button and if the opening isn't big enough, just undo a bit of the back seam to make it fit. Easy peasy. LOL!
