Thanks to a bug my friend Michelle put in my head a few days ago, I came up with a nifty thrifty, easy peasy skirt pattern to make multi sized, double sided skirts for my girls. The pattern makes skirts from size 6 mos to girls size 14 or larger if you wanted.
Here are the first three I made.
Side 1
Side 2
I am working up the instructions this weekend with illustrations and am seeking out some handy dandy pattern testers to see if someone else can follow my instructions.
It really is so simple to make, just 3 or 4 steps and you have a lovey, sturdy, double sided skirt with no hem. I really hate sewing hems and gathering.
I would love to hear what you think! Please leave a comment.

The Neapolitan Skirt Pattern is for sale in my Etsy Shops Here and Here.

Cute!!! My girls wear a size 5 and 7...I'll test for you. :D
Love this skirt!!! I would love to be a tester for you. I have a 3 yo and a 5 yo, both girls, that love dresses. This would be so neat to make them interchangeable!
Have a great Sunday!!!
These skirts are just so cool!
Please please post instructions, because I would love to give one of these a go. ( I just have to find someone who has a girl to give it to when I'm done....)
I love reading your blog too!
They are lovely, very smart to make them reversible
OK so you know who your favorite sister is. Just pick Me. And I would love to try it in Momma Size.
Hey I love the idea of reversable. If they spill on side one then I can whip it off them and turn in inside out and have a clean skirt. Definetly need a momma size.
I would love to test it out! they look gorgeous and the idea of no hem is divine! I'd try one for my 3year old and I'd love one for myself!
Those skirts are super cute! I hate doing hems, too, so I love to make double-sided patterns. When you finish with the pattern, I will have to get it; I have my 3rd girl on the way, so I will definitely be making plenty of skirts in the future. And if you haven't found pattern testers, I would be glad to help. earlkristib(at)gmail(dot)com
those turned out really cute! i love ruffles and flared skirts, but all that gathering makes me want to throw up! i would love to see your pattern for this, i'm curious. and i love the thrifty-ness of it; double sided- genious!
I love the skirt... :)
A mi personalmente me encantan como te han quedado. Son muy pero que muy bonitas y de unos colores muy primaverales.

So count me in (I would love to help u test the pattern)
Those skirts are adorable. I can't wait to see how you made them!
Those are adorable; love the fabrics too! Can't wait to see the pattern. I've been getting the itch to try to make something for my granddaughter, but I'm such a chicken!

A double sided skirt that is easy too? Genius. Plus, the colors you chose are beautiful. I wouldn't mind testing the pattern if you need any more.
I love the skirts. The are absolutely adorable.
Thank you for sharing your tutorials. I made one of the jean half aprons for my mom for mother's day. She absolutely loves it and I do, too. I love your blog!!
I posted pictures on my blog.

I know I am late...but if you are still in need of testers, my girls are size 2 & 8 and I have nieces in 6 months, 7 & 10.
I'd be happy to test sew. I'm with you on the hemming thing!

That is a really pretty skirt, and I like the colour combinations.
I was looking for aprons and patterns when I stumbled upon your blog--LOVE IT! Our last ladies meeting at church was themed, "Once Upon An Apron" and since then, I've grown somewhat fond of aprons. I also seen these darling skirts on your site, and would love, love, love to try and make one for my daughter, and possible another little girl at church. Anywho, God Bless you and thanks for sharing your talent!!
Darling skirts!
I'm new to your blog and love these skirts! They are so cute and I would love to make one for my 5 yr old grand daughter. Did you ever post the tutorial? I don't see it, but I am new to this so may have missed it. I'm going to try making several of the other items in the meantime. Thanks!!
Sorry Darci, it is for sale in my etsy shop.
