Ellie's holiday skirt is finished. It actually got done almost a whole week before the Fall Program! (not the wee hours of the night before) I used a circle skirt pattern with a wide elastic waist band, inspired by Dana's instructions over at Made. I didn't do the math part for the skirt - I just used a poodle skirt pattern I already had on hand. I did follow the instructions for the waist band. I even tried dyeing it red. Not entirely thrilled with the dye job, so I made the sash to tie around Ellie's waist to cover the elastic. The skirt is two layers, a sheer with the swirl pattern and a red satin underneath. Next to come - boy bow ties and vests!
Thanks for reading!

It's gorgeous! Very pretty.
Very cute! I am planning on doing a similar skirt for my daughter--okay, I've been planning on it since last year! ;)
That absolutely lovely - and perfect for the holidays, too! You did a great job.
