I made this Layer Cake skirt for my niece Claudia's 2nd birthday. She had a Minnie Mouse themed party and I thought this would be perfect for her.

I decided to try something different, so I thought I would try a 2-layer skirt. I really like how this one turned out and have started on several more in different fabrics.

Finally, how can you go wrong with using only one layer of fabric? I don't think you can. Even though this skirt does not have the gathering and layers that the other two do, the elastic in the waist works to give it a gather and a little pouf. Caroline wore this skirt a few days ago with just a plain white T-shirt and sandals and it was so cute on her.
