Bandanna Skirts

I found this great tutorial from V and Co. on how to make a girl's skirt out of a bandanna. I thought these would be great for the 4th of July with red or navy blue bandannas. I made a black and red skirt and a navy and red one. I also added a little ruffle using a 6-inch spool of white tulle. I just folded a long strip in half twice (longways) then sewed a gathering stitch through it and gathered it. Then I just sewed it onto the top of the skirt pieces before sewing them together. Easy!
The finished skirts:
Seriously, these are so easy- you've got to make one!

  2. Ack! So Super Cute! I am definitely going to have to try that! I love how the red and black one turned out. And heck... here in Texas, that's good for everyday wear... not just the 4th of July! :)
