Bandana Dress and Skirt

I was recently inspired by a crafting friend Linda and a post she made to Facebook.  When I saw the bandana dress she made, I knew I wanted to make my own.  So here are my adventures:

First, I picked up some bandanas from Michael's.  I sewed them together to make this dress: 

However, she wasn't thrilled with it. :(  My older daughter asked to try it on as a shirt and she loves it!  So new shirt for her :) 

I then wanted to make a skirt.  I was going to try to simply fold the bandana in half and sew a slot for the elastic.  I looked online however and found this cute tutorial.  So I went to Walmart quick and got some more bandanas.  This skirt is the result: 

She wanted the blue on the outside and as long as she was going to like it, I was up for it!  (She also doesn't hold very still for photographs!)


Now both of my girls have their outfits ready for the 4th of July!
