This Sunday we are spending the afternoon at a joint birthday party for two of Carson's friends. They are both turning 3...so exciting! I decided to make them some twirl skirts with their favorite Disney characters.
Tinkerbell
and Aurora!
Fall is right around the corner so I thought I would go with some fall"ish" looking outfits for the girls too. We have many warm fall days living here in Florida so short sleeves and skirts are appropriate. But I think the outfits would look really cute with a long sleeve shirt under the shorts sleeve shirt, tights and boots for the occasional chilly days.
The skirts were made with a thin corduroy. I love the bright colors. I found this particular fabric at
Hancock Fabric store. You can find something similar at JoAnn Fabrics too. The pattern I used to make the skirts is the
Edith Twirl skirt pattern. I love this pattern! It's directions are really easy to follow and has pictures to help you along the way. Which I like because I am such a visual person.
Aren't these lil' owl appliques cute?! Ashley has a pdf pattern download
here! I did a couple of things different. I only used the inner owl piece on my owls and felt for my owl's eyes where she used buttons. I try to use what I have on hand and I have lots of felt!:)
I used rick rack on both skirts to give them a little detail and color.
Carson modeled Melina's owl outfit.
She insisted on wearing her cowgirl boots with it.
After our little photo shoot, I wrapped their gifts up in little brown bags...
with their names. I used scrap book letter stickers leftover from Carson's
birthday place mats.
I used foam stars for the card. I punched a little hole and tied them with ribbon.
Happy Birthday girls! I hope you have a fabulous time at your party. We are very excited to be able to celebrate with you.
XOXO
