Ribbon Skirt Tutorial with FREE template + New Design Team Member!
Filed under Art Projects, Design Team, Giveaways, Newsletters, Tutorials
Note: most of the links on this post no longer work, as we moved to a new Web site in 2018. However, you can see the supply list items from Caroline’s project that are still available on the new site.
Whew… that’s a long headline! But I couldn’t omit any words ’cause there are so many announcements and freebies today!
Let’s start with Caroline’s Project, with an introduction by Miz Bella:
The lovely, glitter-covered Southern Belle, Caroline Ouzts-Hay, has created a video tutorial for her No Sew Ribbon Doll Tutorial. The best part about this is that you don’t have to break out a needle and thread: it’s very easy to make!
Caroline used a skirt line-drawing from a template that Leslie provided — with 2 skirts (in very different styles) that fit pretty much all of the ladies on the Victorian Fashions or The Lady In Blue Collage Sheets! (Both of the collage sheets included in the January Romantic Women Kit.) Click on that preview picture below for the link to the FREE pdf template.
Personally, I’ve always loved the vintage paper dolls that had ribbon skirts and Caroline’s is so reminiscent of those.
Here’s a link to view Caroline’s supply list. (And wouldn’t you know it… all those goodies, plus a bunch more that could be used on a ribbon-skirt project, are included in today’s Giveaway!)
You can find Caroline’s blog post here and the video tutorial here.
What? A new Digital Design Team Member?!
YES! And what wonderful things she makes!
So much so that there’s whole separate blog post to introduce… Jeanne Draachreider!
So stop by and learn more about her and see what lovely art she’s made with the digital collage sheets from the January Kit! (And for the entire image of the Surely I Misunderstand collage shown at right!)

My great-grandmother, German born, always made me little booklets, instead of traditional cards,on special occasions, using embossed paper flowers, ribboned flowers and pictures of beautiful Victorian women in dresses that she hand-glued with special verses to go along with her pictures.
I used to play with paper dolls when I was a little girl. I had so much fun cutting them and their dresses out. None of them had such a gorgeous skirt though! Must have a really good look at the tutorial.
