My All American Girl

My first attempt at a "Twirl" Skirt:

I read lots of blogs listed here:

then created my skirt combining what I liked from each blog.

My measurements were:
Red fabric: 7 x 30
White fabric: 6 x 44
Blue fabric: 7 x 65

It turned out a little longer than I expected....but on the plus size she should be able to wear this next year, too!

Then of course we had to make a matching headband...then a matching bow.



My headband pattern from this blog (Kyla loves these! I love that they are reversible, so this one has red stars on one side, blue stars in the other):

And this was my first attempt at the flower bow from this blog:
