Poodle skirt for Sock hop Day at School

Is this your project? Can you share instructions or a pattern with the Craftsy community?

Difficulty:

Category: Sewing

Type of item: Clothing

For: Children

Style: Retro / Vintage, Cute


Materials

Gray polyester fabric, pieces of felt, ribbon trim.

What was your inspiration?

My Cousin had just bought back a Refurbished 34 Chevy Coupe, and his Grandaughter needed a Poodle Skirt for a special day at school. She has had her picture taken standing beside the old coupe.

What are you most proud of?

Being able to enjoy the task of sewing for others, and having the memories of how these children really love to receive something that they know is made with love.

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

This is a very easy project. Instead of using a zipper & waist band, I used elastic.

It does bring back some memories. I enjoy sewing for the little ones. Really need to get started on making my quilt squares...maybe I can get back to some real sewing now.

I will be starting another Poodle Skirt soon. Then will post pictures of the 34 Coupe and the 2 little girls with their skirts.
