If you have been following the series. You know I have made a basic skirt and a basic skirt with a contrasting band. Today we are going to add a sweet little apron. Adding something like an apron give this skirt a little personality. A perfect little skirt to start school.
Start by doing steps 1-4. Measure & cut, sew side seam, Fold hem, iron and stitch.
You next step is to make your apron. Measure your apron and cut 2 pieces. Mine for a size 4 was approximately 12x 12.
Lay one piece right side up.
Lay your ribbons or trip ontop and pin into place. Stitch your ribbons down.
Lay second apron piece down on top of front of apron. Right sides together.Stitch around 3 sides.
Turn right sides out, top stitch around your 3 sides and embellish.
To finish your skirt, find center. Pin the center of the apron to the center of your skirt. You can either pin this into place or do a basting stitch to connect the skirt to the apron.
To finish your skirt, fold the top 1/4 inch and press. Fold over 1 more inch to make a casing. Stitch around casing leaving a 1 inch hole to add elastic. Thread elastic through casing. sew elastic ends together then close casing. Your skirt is all done.
Add a fun pair of leggings or tight and your little Miss is ready for school. If you have any questions about this tutorial please don’t hesitate to email me. 
That fabric is so awesome! Projects like this are why I hate school uniforms 🙁 Would love to send my girls to school in cute mama made outfits. I’d love for you to link this to the Pin Inspiration link party when it goes live tomorrow 🙂 http://www.addhousewife.com/2012/08/pin-inspiration-45.html
