Minnie Mouse Skirt



I've had this adorable red and white polka dot fabric in my stash for a couple of years now. I've always hesitated cutting into it because I had to save it for the perfect project. It finally clicked one night when I was dreaming about this jersey skirt tutorial from Ruffles & Stuff. Yes, I know it looks like something Minnie Mouse would wear but I think that makes me love it even more. I think it turned out super cute. My only regret is that the weather is too cold for me to wear this whenever I want. Dang snow.

I did a few things different from Disney's tutorial, the main one being I shirred the top of the pockets so they wouldn't stick out so far. I love the extra touch of ruffles. Perfect.

  4. This is awesome. I love a knit skirt with leggings because I can wear it to work while looking dressed up, but really--I'm totally comfy (sportin' one right now, in fact!!) and don't have to be "lady-like". I have never made my own and now I want to! The tutorial looks super easy...Pretty sure I'll be doing this in the not-so-distant future. :)
