Tiny Sewists :: Pip Skirt

My intention with the Tiny Sewists series was to keep all the projects gender neutral so it would remain inclusive.

Recently, Arden and I made a video of her sewing a Pip Skirt for her turn as the Star of the Week at her elementary school.  She had the choice of doing a live demonstration or making a video, and I convinced her to do the video so she could complete her project.  Now I’m sharing it here so you can see her progress. We haven’t had many sessions since we moved; only a couple of headbands as gifts for friends so she’s a little rusty.

The Pip Skirt is a free PDF tutorial available at https://www.ajennuinelife.com/product/pip-skirt-tutorial-free.  Arden sewed the panels and hemmed it after I had pressed it.  I did all the cutting, prepared the pocket panels, and added the waistband.  So, it’s a good project for an older girl or a nice joint project for a tiny sewist and an adult helper.

The fabrics used are Michael Miller’s Pugs & Kisses.  Arden’s classmates (and even her Principal) got a kick out of the Poo-Poo Polka Dots print we used on the waist band.  Nothing like a little potty humor for a bunch of six and seven year olds!

I’ll get pictures of Arden modeling her new skirt and add them to this post when I get a chance

    so cute! my 9 year old is jealous, she is begging me for lessons! I made the Pip Skirt in a denim knit fabric and my girls wear it all the time! For sure a favorite that will be sewn up again for the summer!
