Celebrate BABY---TUTORIAL and PATTERN: little baby circle skirt

Clara and I found a pleasant surprise at Joanns the other day....
They now carry colored elastic!....in a select few colors, only available in the store (not online), and only in 1-inch wide elastic.
BUT....
I'd been wanting to make Clara some skirts, so it was perfect for this:
I know I say it a lot but these are so. easy. to make. And they take such a small amount of fabric that you can't resist sewing a whole stack of them! Then throw a circle skirt over a dyed onesie and you have a simple girly outfit. Clara's first time at church was in the outfit above.

Okay....
You're familiar with the standard Circle Skirt Tutorial HERE.
But to save everyone time, I created a new download/printable baby skirt pattern HERE.
Yay!
The pattern is 1/4 of a full circle and fits on a standard size paper. Easy, right?
Print and cut out the pattern piece and let's get started.
You can follow the full instructions in the circle skirt tutorial.
Or, here's the short version:
You end up with a fabric circle:
And you're done!
Then just give in to that sewing itch to make more, more and more...and you'll have plenty to give away as gifts! I sent baby circle skirts to a few friends and here's Delia's sweet baby Natalie wearing the seersucker version. Love that little bum:
She fit right in with the family's Easter ensemble (such cute photos)
