hula hoop skirt for Clare

I strongly suspect that this pattern will be my go-to skirt pattern for a little while.  Twirly, elasticised waist, no gathering to do, all seams fully enclosed, reversible.  Everything to love, and nothing to dislike!

This was sewn up one evening while Clare was off on Guide Camp earlier this week. I have to say, my big girl has had the best school holidays! I’m a little sad that today is the last day. I’ve suggested to Clare that she could make herself some more of these herself if she likes, without any help from me. I wonder what she’ll choose from my stash?

She has decided that she prefers it with the blue and pink spotty side out. Funny, I thought she’d prefer the strawberry side! Maybe her tastes are beginning to get a teensy bit more sophisticated.
