This no-sew skirt will look like it took hours to make. And your child can have a blast picking out her color combinations, said Joyce Hines of Hancock Fabrics, who created this skirt. Be sure to measure your child for appropriate length and waist measurements.
Materials needed: Square of colored felt, black felt for the poodle, measuring tape, Fabritac glue, sequins, ribbon, medium-sized felt pom pons
1. Fold the felt in quarters. From the top left corner, measure to about 8 1/2 inches (or appropriate to your child's hip measurements) and trace a quarter of a circle. Then from the same corner, measure about 33 inches and trace a larger quarter of a circle close to the edges of the square. Cut out along lines to make a circle.
2. From the smaller circle, turn the felt down 1 1/2 inches to make a waist band. Cut a slit in the front. Glue the bottom edge of the waist to the inside of the skirt, and run the ribbon through, tying at the front slit.
3. Cut out the poodle with the black fabric, attach pom pons, and glue to the skirt. Glue the sequins to the skirt to make a leash.
