Supplies
- Baby Lock® Sewing Machine
- Baby Lock® Serger (optional)
- Less than a yard of stretchy knit fabric (For most children’s sizes)
- Ball point needles for sewing machine
- Baby Lock Ruffling Foot (SA122 – optional)
Tip
For the quickest construction, use a ruffling foot to gather the fabric for the bottom skirt ruffle and a serger to sew the three seams. Of course, you can gather the skirt ruffle without a ruffling foot and you can sew the seams with your regular machine – and still finish in less than 30 minutes. Be sure to use ball-point needles on your machines and a zig-zag stitch if you use a regular sewing machine.
