Daniel and I have some good friends who just had a baby girl. I was very excited to try the a super easy tutorial I found at Kojo Designs for making a baby girl jean skirt. I had some plaid left from the shorts I made Conner, so I used it to make an elephant applique.
I started with a long jean skirt I never wore. I cut it in half to make a knee length skirt.
I followed the tutorial to make the skirt.
I traced the elephant shape from one of Conner’s shirts. I colored over the top of the applique with a crayon to get the outline. Then cut it out to use as a pattern.
I pinned it on the skirt. Then I sewed around the outside with a red zig zag stitch. Next I used black and off white embroidery thread to make the eyes, ear, and tail.
I was very pleased with how quick it was and how cute it turned out.
