You guessed it! Lol. I'm 20 yrs old and i wanted to make my baby one of these adorable skirts but having no experience what so ever i had no idea what i was looking for and the dumb ass people at the fabric store, when i asked for nylon chiffon, i later found out (much too late) that they gave my polyester! So... I just hoped to hell it would work out and i did love making it it took a long time and i didn't have a ruffling foot or w/e so it was all done by hand. But its falling apart and i'm feeling really down about it... I'm gonna have to go hunting online for the proper stuff probably. Otherwise the skirt came out pretty good for my first project (plus i never even used a sewing machine b4 XD no1 would even know that) I really love your skirt. Did you have a hell of time finding the proper chiffon? -May i’m really jut starting the sew and what did i choose a my very first project? You guessed it! Lol.

I had an idea of making these for my boutique as they are so gorgeous & soooo soooo expensive to buy in from The States. Bought the material (don't think i have enough now i've read a few retailers that are stating 32mtrs of chiffon & 50 yards of chiffon). Bit scared to try one now !!!..... lol. Oh my gosh…i’m gutted!

Firstly, I am not a professional seamstress - I just like to sew (a lot!). Secondly, the skirt was not hard to make. It was just incredibly boring! And I really did hate that chiffon. Go ahead and give one a go - maybe it won't be as bad as I made out. And if it is...well at least you have one skirt :) Cynthia – don’t be put off by my whinging!

I was lured in by the pettiskirt but I've seen so many cute things here I'm feeling inspired to sew a tiered skirt and a jumper. See? I really am sew crazy.

I found your site by googling for 'homemade pettiskirts' and my knees are a little weak now. What the heck am I thinking? If you, as a professional seamstress, had such a hard time with them why in the world am I taking this on? I did buy the ruffling attachement for my machine so perhaps that will make it faster? Two days? Crimeny! I'm planning on making SEVERAL of these! Now I’m a-skeered! I found your site by googling for ‘homemade pettiskirts’ and my knees are a little weak now.
