Simple skirt pattern for little girls: Giveaway!!

• 3.17.2011

I am excited to announce another Paradiso Designs pattern giveaway!

Cheryl and her company, Paradiso Designs, are one of our sponsors who makes great patterns for beginning, intermediate, and advanced sewists and does such a great job of explaining things and making sewing fun.  Cheryl teaches lots of sewing classes and is always learning from new seamstresses like some of you what patterns people want!  She has just come out with a great pattern for little girls, with three skirt options.  Sewing for kids is awesome because it taks so little fabric and they always love what you make!  And the projects go so fast.  It's a great way to get into sewing, or sewing clothing in particular.

Cheryl also has a blog where she shares great tutorials that help you with her awesome purse and clothing patterns.  Check it out here...

Here's some info from Cheryl on this great new pattern:

I am excited to release a pattern for children!  I designed the first skirt for a little skirt for a little one named Harlow, and last year I helped a student design a bubble skirt for her daughter named Cooper.  

 

A few months ago I was inspired by a skirt that I saw on one of my young students, to come up with the inverted triangle pocket.  Then I knew I had all the making for a good skirt pattern for little girls with three styles to offer.

 

When I started designing clothing patterns, I liked to call the patterns formulas.  So…the pattern became the 3 Harlow Skirt Formulas. Let me introduce Cooper Harlow, the ruffle skirt, and Betty Harlow, the pocket skirt, and Lucy Harlow, the bubble skirt.  I love the way that Betty Harlow sounded because Betty is a classic name, and my editor came up with another classic Lucy Harlow, which just felt like it “fit”.

 

Oh yeah, the best part of making all 3 of these skirts…there is no hemming!

 

The pattern also has a measurement chart of each skirt style, so that the cutting formula for each skirt is flexible to adapt for different sizes.  The sizes are from 12mo-8yrs.

 

Cheryl is generously offering to give away a skirt pattern to one of my awesome readers!
