jessika said... I really like your technique on the edges. Cute and great twirl factor. I bet she can't wait to show it off. 1/25/07 7:42 PM
JDpenelope said... I really like your version in just one fabric with with this fabulous "chenilled" backwards seam. Like MelissaB, I want to copy it exactly. I'm dying here--Can't wait until home renovations are complete and I can start sewing. This pattern is number 1 on my list. 1/25/07 7:47 PM
Tiner W said... Now yours is my favorite one yet! I could have had this pattern at PR weekend, but didn't think I liked it. I love yours! 1/25/07 9:33 PM
jnamcd said... Thanks for all your lovely comments, ladies! I really feel all the praise should go to Silke--it was hers that caught my attention. But I'm not sure she posts on this site, so thought I'd share mine with you in case any might love it like I did! 1/25/07 10:11 PM

SewVeryTall said... Now that is just adorable...I want one! ;) Cute typo, hehe...most people have to *wash* their cut seams to get it to chenille [sorry, I couldn't resist :)]. 1/26/07 7:02 AM
Monica G said... Amy. Love the skirt. I just purchased this pattern myself and can't wait to make my first Redondo. DD is just turning 2, don't know if she'll fully appreciate the twirl factor--but I will! 1/26/07 7:30 AM

Ody said... I am definitely going to make one of these for my 6 yo so she can twirl. 1/26/07 11:51 PM
Stephanie C. said... How did you do the hem? It looks chenilled, too, but how? Thanks. 1/29/07 4:30 PM
jnamcd said... Stephanie: I just stitched around the edge about 1/2" and about 5/8" (2 stitching lines for safety!!) --then I snipped into the hem every 1/2" or so and washed away--it chenilled those edges, too. I debated just doing a rolled hem on the skirt, and levaing the chenilleing for the seamlines, but decided to go ahead and do it all! HTH's!

jnamcd said... dreamdesigner: I (along with others on this site!) belong to a yahoo group (ottobre-english) --that talks just about ottobre patterns. A member there posted her picture of this skirt, she had made. Later, it was taken off the board (probably because it wasn't an ottobre pattern) --but I was so glad I got a glimse of it before it was taken off --it was a great inspiration for me! 1/30/07 11:17 PM
