Copy Cat

I am not a creative person, however I'm really good at taking other people's ideas and attempting to do them.
So, after I saw this tutorial. I just knew I had to try it. I asked a friend who IS a seamstress to come spend the day with me while I sewed. (I wanted her around so I could ask all my dumb little sewing questions as I was working.) Not only did she bring her knowledge but also her serger. I. am. in. love. I now NEED a serger!  I decided to make these for my nieces, who live in a HOT climate year round.

I took these pieces: 
 And made them into this:
 It turned out to be a rather easy sewing project. (Time consuming but easy. )

The skirts were an afterthought but came together quiet nicely with the scraps I had lying around.
 Ruffles are totally in season right now. 
Here are the little fashionistas.

Don't worry I have more plagiarized projects on my to do list. And when they get "doed" I'll post some pictures.

I'm envious! Oh, how I wished I had learned to sew from my mom when she wanted to teach me. Why don't kids know that when they grow up, they really will want to know this stuff?
