Toddler Skirt from my pajama pants

I was about to toss my pajama pants, when I realized they'd make an easy skirt for my little girl. 

I grabbed one of her other skirts, and traced that with an added 1/2 inch  seam allowance on each side making sure to use the elastic in the top of the pants to be the top of her skirt.  

I sewed it together, also keeping the tie for a bow later.

I then cut strips of material to make the ruffle.  I ran a baste stitch and then pulled them till they gathered.  I pinned and sewed that on. Then I hemmed it.

She looks adorable in it.  I'll definitely look at remnants differently for possible toddler clothes again.

So has anyone checked out Anthropologie lately?  I think my daughter would want this blanket now.  So colorful!

 

 I really love their clothes and accessories.  Will these fit in my closet? 

And then there's Modcloth.  Awesome dresses.  I could live in these. Would they look good with flour and other food residue on them?  I'm pretty sure my little girl will use them to wipe her face with.

Well, I guess I'd better get to the laundry whilst the little one is resting.  I'm not buying anyone of these today.  But they make good inspiration!  I hope everyone is having a great Monday.
