3 Cuts + 2 Seams = 1 Skirt

Quite possibly the EASIEST skirt you will ever make!

I have claimed other skirts I've made to be easy. But they pale in comparison to the ease of this one. I whipped it out, with a little help from my 3 year old, in less than an hour.

And it is comfy...and cute....and wrinkle-resistant.

I found the tutorial on Crafster.org. Here is the URL: http://www.craftster.org/forum/index.php?topic=34064.0%5C#axzz2zIwroCj5
It was super-easy to follow. The only changes I made were to some of the measurements:

Steps (3 steps, 60 minutes)

  1. 1

    1. I made the waistband wider--so I cut a 12" wide piece, instead of a 10" wide piece.

  2. 2

    2. The tutorial also assumes a waist size of 28-30. You can adjust to fit any waist by making the waist piece the length you need. Just remember it is stretchy fabric, so snug is okay.

  3. 3

    3. I made the skirt longer by cutting a 43" square, instead of 42." I wanted to make sure it fell below my knee, and I'm glad I made that change.
