I made this!

I've been felling pretty homemaker lately. Too much time on creative peoples blogs ^.^ If the house would clean itself and someone would just volunteer to do those things which I don't like doing, I would be so creative!
We have a little friend who is 5 that has an amazing tiered skirt. All of us LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it. But I didn't know how to do the whole gather thing so we just admired from afar, and well quite frankly from up close too.
So we were at this resale store and we found this awesome skirt.
Well really in our minds it was part of a skirt because who really in their right mind would ever wear this as a skirt. (That is the prude in me that I am very proud of by the way.) We bought it hoping someone we know would be able to turn it into what we were thinking
Then I found out the secret to machine gathering. Very loose tension and biggest stitch. WOW!
Off to Joann's and we got some cool fabric in the remnant section...
and after hitting a bunch of places online, found a formula for the tiered part and wHallA!

I made this!
