Ruffle Skirts for Gabriella and Laura

The skirts patterns are from Patternmaster Childs Play Tiered skirt.
At last I got to use my new ruffler. Once I got the hang of it it was easy. I at first tried to work out how much I needed for the ruffle but that became very frustrating so I just cut very long strips of the correct width and ruffled until they fitted. All that was correct was the hip size plus a bit of ease.
I added a "ribbon flower" for fun, little girls love this and while they still can let them have fun with it
I did want the hem to be too heavy so I saw an idea in Belindas Sew-4-Fun Blog and used my overlocker and hemmed using a 2 thread wrapped overlock
