And here it is, Lemon Meringue version two! I absolutely loved this Cascading Ruffled Skirt Tutorial, and had it starred and unread in my Google Reader for weeks. (That’s my version of a to-do list, at least until I started with Pinterest!) And so when Serenity wanted Lemon Meringue for her costume, I thought, this is totally something Lemon Meringue would wear! Stylish and cute! So I got a couple knits and went for it. The only thing I changed is that after I made it according to instructions, I realized she said it was 5t, and Serenity is a 4t just because of length, not because of waist. That’s right, way too big. Plus, I completely failed at putting the elastic on the way she does it in the tutorial. I stretched it too much at the end so it was all uneven. So I just turned the top part into an elastic casing instead! Then I could use an elastic the right size for her waist, and the skirt looks just like it should still. Those ruffles are very forgiving. I totally recommend this tutorial for the novice clothing maker, it was fun and so cute! And no finished edges so no worries about my lack of serger =)
