Circle Skirt for a Ladybug Picnic

Addison's cousin Lucie is having a 'Ladybug Picnic' themed first birthday party in just a couple weeks. We'll be back in St. Louis for the festivities.


Since she had nothing in her wardrobe, I thought this was a good occasion to dust of the sewing machine and get to crafting!

Thanks to my awesome (and inspiring) friend Em for this great tutorial on circle skirts. I quickly decided that if it was as fun and easy as it looked, I should make a matching one for Lucie too! I think it turned out pretty cute. Luckily I found some coordinating pink tops at the store.

Here's Addison modeling the finished product:

I added their names to the back of the waistband:










And of course the outfit wouldn't be complete without a matching hair accessory!
