the pattern came from sew4home lookunder their projects. I added the ruffle which os doubled like i cut 4 strips 6 inches wide sewed them together to make a long stip then folded them with wrong sides together in half to make a 3 inch width by 180 inches long then just matched a section of ruffle to every other section of the skirt then worked in my pleats. Covered the back section of skirt with batting placed rightsides together after placing my bow sections to top. and if you do not want a bow just leave off and place velcro strips where you need them the sew sections together leave a spot for turnining then turn right side out and stitch the hole closed make sure you clip curves so it lays flat. I added my embroidery to each section either before or after sewing the top together does not matter when you do it. but if unsure about a design sew it out first on a scrap
