Solo craftiness: Fancy Nancy skirt





My niece Isabelle is a big Fancy Nancy fan. And I mean BIG. She can recite all her Fancy Nancy books by heart, and all her outfits ('ensembles' if you're fancy) must include a glamourous feature. So my non-sewing sister bought some gorgeous Fancy Nancy fabric on Etsy and asked me to make something FANCY!




 Well, this is it. Gathered skirt, tulle overlay, ribbons. What's not to love about this skirt when you're three and you dig Fancy Nancy?
Isabelle wears it constantly. I have some fabric left over so I think next I might make her a dress to match.

My only regret is that I didn't find a pink feather boa to go with it, because that would be way more fancy.




If you've been living under a rock and don't know about Fancy Nancy, here's the link.

Look it up - your little girl will love you for it. The picture books are divine.
