Bubbles

Could be the name of the “girl next door”, but I’m thinking skirts. Not for me, I don’ t need any bubbles, the last one I wore was to my HS Christmas Dance, back in the late 80s. It was a tulle bubble skirt with a tube top. Black, of course. I crimped my platinum locks. Lots of black eyeliner.  It was really wonderful.  I’ll have to see if I can find a picture.

Anyway, enough FLASHBACK….I’ve certainly been noticing the bubbles. They do remind me of the 80s (cringe), but I think they are still fun, perfect for spring and I am truly in love with the updates.  I think they are much more tasteful and classic than their grandmas from the 80s.

I’ve got a few planned for Iz this summer.  Since she’s a 3T, I can experiment quickly with yummy remnants.  Although, with a skirt class on the horizon, I might just make one for me!

Here’s a cutesy tute from Threadbangers on converting a hem to a bubble hem.  love it. make it.
