Alyssa writes in asking about the 3 tiered skirt tutorial she saw on Whipup. However, the often-linked 3peas blog is no longer. Alas! 3 Peas are you out there? Alyssa would love to see the tutorial.
This one isn’t for kids but MediaTinker (who makes alot of excellent tutorials) posted one tiered skirt tutorial that is very fabric-efficient. As a guideline she writes that: ” The lower tiers are about half the length of the one above. Each tier is 1.5 times as wide as the previous one. This gives enough fullness for suitable flair while dancing, but without using too much fabric.”

Rebecca of 3 Peas is no longer blogging, which is sad, really! Perhaps someone saved her tutorial before her blog was discontinued. Good luck!

Here’s a link to someone who has the text but no pictures: http://www.kukyideas.com/journal/2006/07/tiered-skirt-tutorial.html
Sadly, the Wayback Machine doesn’t have that archived. But here’s a tip: if there’s a site with something like this on it, go to http://www.archive.org/ and see if the Wayback Machine has it archived. If it doesn’t, the act of checking should cause it to *be* archived - provided the site owner hasn’t specifically denied permission.

[...] Summer seems to be on vacation and so we’ve been busying ourselves with indoor projects. My MIL sent adorable fairy fabric a while ago as a backing possiblity for the Hansel und Gretel quilt. I found something even better for the quilt, but thought that the fairies would be a perfect opportunity to try the tiered skirt tutotial at Whip-Up for Katja (whew, I wrote down the instructions before they disappeared). I added a simple shirt as well, and ta-da: [...]
