Alrighty folks…here is the tutorial.  I have a mixture of photos between two different skirts, but hopefully it isn’t too confusing.  If you can, make the cute little treasure pouch.  It is just too adorable, and very handy for little treasures and bits and bobs and Polly Pocket shoes they pick up along the way.   This tutorial shows:

• How to make a twirly skirt
• How to make a twirly skirt with skort attachment
• How to add a removable pouch to the skirt

I use snaps in this tutorial for attaching the pouch, and they are super easy to use.  I actually bought a whole bunch of them in various colors from the Snapsource.  They are so much easier and quicker to use than buttons and buttonholes.  If you look at how I attached the pouch, I made sure that when the pouch wasn’t attached the tab with the colored snap was facing out.  It just kind of blends into the background and looks decorative.  If you do make the pouch, make sure you don’t have a metal piece showing when the pouch isn’t attached.  It’s all about those little details!

Let me know if you have any questions on the tutorial.  As always, if you use it, I’d love to see pictures of your creations!  I make these tutorials because I want to share my love of sewing, that’s why I don’t charge for them.  I’d just like to know if they are being used.  🙂

Sorry, I don’t have an action photo of Anya wearing her Irish skort yet, but she is wearing it today!  I will have to add a picture of her wearing it later.  We are All American Mutts, so basically a little bit of many ethnicities…including Irish.  Kailan has a cute green t-shirt he is wearing today, too. 

  Here’s a little Irish Blessing for you today:

May you be in Heaven

A full half hour afore

The devil knows ye’re dead.

I am also going to make a corned beef roast for the first time today.    Wish me luck.  We’ll be havin’ gratin potatoes and sauteed cabage with it, too.  Boiled cabbage just doesn’t sound all that appetizing. 😉
