I marked the skirt tutorial but failed to do so for the darling bias cut skirt with a dropped waistband. If I remember correctly the sewer was going to make the skirt longer the next time to suit the tallness of a growing child. Anyway, I was so inspired by that pattern I bought fabric that is "burning a hole" in my pocket now with the wishing of finding my lost web site. Can anyone remember and help me out? Ther was a picture on the site of just the skirt and some twirling little legs. I so want to start this!

If you actually read the dimensions of the fabric, and the instructions, and try to think them through, I think it probably becomes apparent to most people that it's a little larger than expected. But I imagine the size would be surprising if you didn't, or couldn't, go through the visualization step. (I mean that I'm pretty good at conceptualizing sizes under 2 feet, probably from knitting and doing art stuff, but I understand that for various reasons some other people might not be! It's not even a matter of training - I have some art friends who can "eyeball" things and some who can't.) I got the same feeling about that doorstop when I was looking at the book.

I think it would be really cool made up in leather but easier to come by, maybe fake leather. I love the bag too.
