Butterfly Ruffles Skirt

Thanks to the uber talented Suymey Benson of Blossom Portraiture Art for these incredible photos of our Butterfly Ruffles Skirt.  Shown here in 100% quilting weight cotton in coral rose pink and paired with a cute initial tee and flower roses headband.

The skirt has darling little details that make it special. Two rows of little ruffles are tuxedo-style with rolled hem edges. Two rows of elastic at the waist and another itty bitty ruffle at the top of the waistband. Even with all these details you'll be surprised at how quickly this project comes together.
