A girl and a glue gun: scalloped skirt

i thought i would write up an uninformative tutorial on the scalloped skirt...cause it IS my favorite thing.....

now. i really did think about finishing the edges..but it really just wouldn't give the effect i wanted. i wanted it be light and fluffly and comfortable. like a jersey skirt...but more than just a plain jersey skirt. i wanted my daughter to be able to wear it to school...and be comfortable enough to play on the playground but still look soo cute...

i just started by cutting the scallops...i did the first one about 15 inches high..the next one was only 13 then 11 then 9--and then they were all the same width (my daughter is 9)

after i got each piece cut it was time for rit...

i stocked up cause i had no idea what i wanted to do at the beginning..but i went the ombre route..very subtle...

after it was all washed and dried...i laid it all out and pinned it and sewed across the top....

i added a big stitch and gathered it until the fit the elastic i measured to my daughter's waist

then sewed up the back...

i totally love it. like going to make me a matching mommy version...

i have like no how to pics for the cardigan...i decided to add scallops on the front...
but white on white is a horrible picture to get...

hey i did take one picture...i sewed it down twive...(where the pins are...) and then overlapped the next scalloped layer on top so you can see the stitches...
