Mae Girls Petti Skirt

More than just a pattern…you’ll learn new techniques!

I made this pettiskirt for my granddaughter. It definitely took some time with all the ruffles, but it was a lot of fun and I learned some new techniques. The pattern has simple instructions on how to gather with a serger as well as how to do a rolled hem on a serger. I’ve been sewing for 26 years and never dared to try those techniques until this pattern came along. I’m so happy with my purchase and my new skills!!

Such a sweet skirt!

This petite skirt came together really easy! Great directions and it was perfect for my granddaughter’s Easter dress.

Cute, but directions could be much better

Bottom ruffle is actually gathered at a 3:1 ratio, but pattern instructions only mention a 2:1 ruffle ratio in reference to a serger. I made the mistake of reading those directions - big mistake - lots, and I mean LOTS of ripping. I finally used a zigzag over dental floss to get the ruffle to fit the edge. Did I mention that I had to rip a lot? Ultimately, I got it finished, and it’s adorable.
