New Releases: Kelly’s Twirly Skirt in Girls’ and Women’s Sizes

April 10, 2015/3 Comments/in New Releases, News /by Melissa Prendergast

Kelly’s Twirly Skirt Release!

This is big Y’all!  Like really big.  One of my huge goals for my business was to branch out to women’s patterns but the summertime.  Today, I have made that goal!  I’d like to introduce to you Kelly’s Twirly Skirt!!  It is available both in girls’ sizes 12 months to 14 as well as women’s sizes 0 to 20.  Here are a few pictures of myself and my mini-me sporting our new matching skirts:

The pattern features a two-layered circle skirt and a yoga waistband.  And since it’s made from knit it is SUPER comfy!  The girl’s version includes built-in modesty shorts to ensure your little one can play and still be ladylike.  Here are some pictures of my daughter showing it off:

This pattern is named after my dear friend Kelly.  She was one of my biggest supporters in the very beginning.  She used to always tell me she was eagerly awaiting the start of my business back before I had even made the decision to make the jump.  This also was the very first pattern I ever digitally drafted a year ago back in February.  I’m glad I made the decision to see it through and finally release it.

I had some AMAZING testers this round of testing.  Honestly, these ladies always go above and beyond for me every single time.  Check out some of their awesome images below as well as links to their sites:

Lydia of Huckleberry Love made the cutest matching skirts for her girls.  That fabric couldn’t get any more awesome!

All these cute skirts make me excited to enjoy some sunshine!  And everyone needs a twirly skirt.  I think good twirl factor is a must for any skirt. Be sure to pick up your copy of Kelly’s Twirly Skirt PDF Sewing Pattern available in both women’s and girls’ sizes.  You can also save yourself a few bucks by just going ahead and buying them both with our Bundle Up option.  I promise once you make one, you’re going to want both size ranges!
