Twirly Girl Skirt

Twirly Girl | #15
Twirly Girl is a super twirly skirt featuring up to three of your favorite fabrics. The very, very full skirt has twice the fabric of many other skirts labeled as twirl skirts.Shown in gorgeous fabrics from the Innocent Crush collection by designer Anna Maria Horner.   Mix and match one, two, or three of your own faves to create a one of a kind look for your sweet girl. With so many options, you'll be able to get lots of different looks from this one pattern.

The dropped waist yoke, deep hem, and extra full skirt make it ideal for twirling.  Thanks to clever design and an elastic waist, expect to get 2-4 years of wear from this finished item. 6-year-old Brookie can share hers with her 9-year-old sister.

This pattern is suitable for beginning sewers. The skirt pattern pieces are all rectangles easily cut with a ruler and rotary cutter or scissors, so no paper pattern pieces are required. This tutorial-style pattern is a PDF file with 40+ color photos and step-by-step detailed instructions. Includes separate sizing for toddlers 2T, 3T, 4T, 5T, and girls sizes 6, 7, 8, 10 and 12 for a total of 9 sizes in one tutorial pattern.  The finished skirt hits below the knee, but the pattern can be easily adjusted to create a shorter or longer version. Please see the size chart below.


Recommended fabrics: quilting weight cotton, poplin, broadcloth, gingham, chambray, pinwale corduroy, lightweight denim, lightweight twill.
