I'm so glad that I have girls that I can make ruffles for. I love making ruffles. This is the Can-Can Skirt from Dana. 
I bought nylon chiffon, which doesn't fray and it made everything so much better. I. picked out the blue and when I first saw it, I thought of my Alma matter, which isn't exactly the look I wanted for this skirt! I used black and cream to soften how blue that blue was.
I also made one for little M., but getting her to agree to do something her Mommy would like is another story.
I think this would be a darling spring skirt, with ruffly pastels.

I don't know how to do ruffles, but this skirt makes me want to learn how!!! ;)
Oh I love that skirt! Love the blue paired with creams and blacks, sophisticated yet unexpected.
And I think your little one and I would get along. I've always had a soft spot in my heart for the "rebels" - something about being the youngest child, I'm sure.
That skirt is awesome! I would wear one myself, but I realllllly love it for my daughter. When I saw you reference the colors and your alma mater, I was briefly hopeful I'd found another Blue Devil!

So glad you're back with a healthy computer. You were missed.
And the skirt?? Anna seriously needs one of those.
So cute! I really need to do some ruffling. It doesn't look that hard...but like anything new, very intimidating! And yes, thank goodness you have a girl! Praying that I won't end up with just boys...I don't think they could pull off ruffles as well...though I may try! ;)
That is so cute! I am going to feature it on my blog! That is JUST as cute as a petti skirt, but so much easier!
that is adorable! how fun!
This would be great for easter and Miss Sarah will love all the ruffles...I am so happy you shared it with us!

Hi Laurel-
Cute cute cute skirt. My youngest daughter would have loved that when she was little. She would only wear skirts with what she called "swirl factor" which your skirt has. I am going to forward the link to her. I know seeing it is going make her smile.
This is so freakin' cute that even my rough and tumble boys might wear it! They LOVE to play dress up after all. :) Great job!
That skirt is just darling Laurel. I love all of those ruffles. Adorable!

Super cute! You're oh-so-crafty!
The ruffles look so yummy. Like a wonderful base for a pillow and then pop a giant flower on it as well.
THAT is adorable! I don't think my oldest would go for it but my youngest girl would be all over that - so sweet! (Heck, maybe I'll just STUFF Evie in it! Thanks for the pattern link!)
I love this! I just sent it to my sister who does all the sewing. She has a baby almost 1 so it would be so cute for her birthday outfit!
This is darling, GREAT job!!
Thanks for your comments on my Welcome sign too, I was pleasantly surprised by how well it turned out! :)
Have a great weekend!
I love this skirt!!
