4th of July Ruffle Skirts to Show your Patriotism

I love sewing my girls matching outfits. Weird? I think so, but still its so much fun. Plus, in reality they are only going to want to match each other for a couple more years so I have to take advantage of it!

4th of July Girl Ruffle Skirts

My Mother in Law is a die hard 4th of July fan.  She loves going to the parade,  she loves hosting a barbeque for the entire family, and she loves spending time with everyone.  The night before the 4th a couple years ago, I realized that the girls had nothing to wear.  So I decided to sew them up some skirts.  The pattern that I followed is a tutorial on my blog HERE and HERE

I did make a few changes though...I used fabric, so I needed to ruffle each piece of fabric.  I also used my serger to serge the bottom edges of each ruffled fabric.

I also made the shirts, because they had no white shirts without stains on them....any other moms out there run into this problem...all...the...time?!

For the shirts I used 2 inch white ruffle fabric.  I will be adding a tutorial on how I did that later on. 

The skirts all laid out after being completed. 

I am so grateful that I have been given the ability to sew for my girls.  They love every...piece...that I make for them.  I know that won't last forever, but I love it for now!
