Sorry about that! I think I fixed it so the links should be working now.

Sorry, I'm not sure why the links aren't working. When I click on the links from the review, the pictures open.

I have the pictures stored in a Kodak Gallery album and I shared the album, so I'm not sure what's wrong. Anyone have any idea how to fix the problem?

I made one last try to get the links to the pictures to work by moving the pictures to photobucket. I hope it works!

Those are the cutest skirts!! I love all of them....wondering if they'd look good in MY size??? Hmmm. As far as the drawstring...some patterns say to stitch through the drawstring and side seam casings. That way you anchor the ribbon at the side seams and are only able to tighten towards the front. If they're only decorative....just anchor them at the drawstring front hole. Does that help???? VERY cute skirs. Great review, thank you! Hey...enter these in the Holiday Sewing contest if they're all gifts.

Cute Cute Cute!!! If they don't need the drawstring, I would just sew the bow down. You could use a smaller piece of ribbon and loop it through both holes instead of going all the way around the waist. You could also think about leaving the patch edges unfinished and let them fray or pink the edges. The whole de-constructed look is very popular!

adorable skirts. I like that the patchwork is in the front too. I hv an 8 yod that would luv the pink/brown stripe combo. Good job and enjoy the review too.

Thanks for the great suggestions! The skirt has an elastic waistband so I think the drawstring is more decorative than anything else. The instructions say to stitch the elastic to the side seams of the casing. After the casing is attached to the skirt, the ribbon is then strung through the casing (on top of the elastic) but the instructions don't mention stitching the ribbon to anything. In the future, I will probably just sew the midpoint of the ribbon directly to the middle of the elastic before closing the casing. That way, the ribbon will still be both functional and decorative and I don't have to worry about it coming out. I don't know why I didn't think of that myself earlier!! Either that or I'll just use a smaller ribbon and loop the bow around the holes. Thanks again for your help.

This is really cute! I especially love the brown/pink version. I will have to remember this one for when my little nieces get older!
