Used

• Simplicity pattern 2609
• I used the short tiered pattern (I think it's view B) but I copied it on tracing paper so I could split the tiers into the two different fabrics. Then I realized that I was running out of green, so I had to piece it together! I used the top half of the second tier (the traced piece) to cut 5 additional pieces on the fold for a third tier.

• Kona Basil Green
• Notions
• Gutermann thread color no. 420, 788, and 211
• Coats white thread (for basting)
• Simplicity cotton lace trim 3874161 and a small piece of thicker cotton lace.

Basic tiers - then I zigzag stitched across the gathered hems, hemmed, and added lace and elastic.
