This was my entry last week into the SYTYC contest. Once again I was totally upstaged by my friend Dana over at Made who also did a skirt. She is WAY too talented. My entry was the Ruffle Bustle Skirt. I’m thinking of making this one of my new patterns after the holidays. It would be really cute with some different knit fabrics.
I used pieces of old t-shirts to create a modern Victorian bustle underneath the back of this knit skirt. The result is a ruffled, flirty full skirt that every little girl would love to wear!
If you are wondering……the theme last week was “Turkey.” The colors (maroon, red, purple, brown, charcoal/white stripes) and angles of the ruffled t-shirt pieces were inspired by a plume of turkey feathers.
Sienna tested the skirt at our local playground and it was a huge hit…..
…..especially when it was discovered that the full bustle creates a padded “seat” for the swings and slides!
The SYTYC Contest is on a break this week. I’ve survived last week so I’ll let you know when the new entries are up this next week!
I loved this skirt!
Are you going to provide a tutorial for this style? That would be WONDERFUL.

Are you able to do a tutorial for this even though you didn't win last week? is there a rule about that?
I would love a tutorial too! But if you can't because of rules, can you sell a pattern for this. Too Cute! Love it.
This is very cute! Girly, but perfect for playing too!

Hey, did you make that shirt she's wearing? And if not…where's it from? Love it.
