What are Skapris?

I've made almost a dozen Twirl Skorts for my two youngest girls over the past couple years. They are great for warm weather, but what to wear when the weather turns cooler?

I fell in love with this pattern from YouCanMakeThis.com. They looked so perfect for my girls, especially Heidi. She's the one that will dress up in a princess costume then grab a light saber and attack one of her brothers.

Problem was, I just couldn't bring myself to pay for the pattern download. I knew how they were constructed; I was just too lazy to start from scratch....Until now! Using a pants pattern and her measurements, I stitched these together in an evening. Meghan and Brigitta have even put in orders. Now to find more sewing time!
