Cotton Fabrics, Ruffle and Waistband are from Rowan "Water" collection of fat quarters, 3/4" elastic, Embroidery Thread, Sequinned Trim,

What advice would you give someone starting this project?
Hope your little one you sew these for doesn't get tired of them, because they are just too fun to make! Everyone can be a bit different, and it doesn't take a lot of fabric or time. Win Win in my book!
