A poodle skirt is a wide swing felt skirt of a solid bold color (often pink and powder blue) displaying a design appliqu¨¦d or transferred to the fabric. The design was often a coiffed French poodle. Later substitutes for the poodle patch included flamingos, flowers, and hot rod cars. Hemlines were to the knee or just below it.
How to Make a Child's Poodle Skirt
Step1: Measure your child. Take a measurement from your little girl's waist to how far down you want the skirt to hang. Measure around her waist.
Step2: Make a make-shift pattern. Add 1/4 of the waist measurement to the measurement for the length of the skirt. (For instance if the length measurement is 18 inches and the waist measurement is 20 inches, the new measurement is 23 inches.) On a large piece of tissue paper or blank newsprint, measure out the distance of the new measurement in all directions, to form a circle. From the middle point, measure out 1/4 of the waist measurement in all directions and cut this portion out. This is your pattern for the skirt. Make a pattern for the waistband by measuring out the waist measurement and adding 1/2 inch to it. The width of the waistband pattern should be 3 inches.
Step3: Purchase your fabric and accessories. Measure your pattern to determine how much fabric you'll need. You'll also need to buy a simple poodle iron-on, which should be available at craft stores. Consider any other detailing that would make your little girl's skirt a bit more unique to her and her tastes, such as pom-pom trim or rick-rack. Purchase elastic for the waistband.
Step4: Make the poodle skirt. Sew the waistband, folded in half, to the skirt. Leave an opening to put the elastic through. After threading the elastic through the waistband, sew the openings together. The skirt should be poofy and full. Iron on the poodle and add any trim.
