You Will Need (3 things)
- Can use a bed sheet for this, I did. Cotton Its up to you how much.
- Elastic the same length as your hip measurement.
- A different colour Cotton to before for the hem
Steps (7 steps, 20 minutes)
-
1
First I measured around the fullest part of my hips, you need twice this measurement for the width of the fabric :)
Then the length is up to you, but take around 10cm off of the length you want to make, because the hem will take up that much :) -

To make the hem, make a strip of fabric as long as your other piece (hip measurement x2) by 20cm.
Fold the edges over and press them.
Then, if you fold is piece over long-ways it'll make the ideal hem for the bottom of your skirt. -
3
Sew this hem to the bottom of the long fabric.

4
Fold the top of your "skirt" over and sew down the length, creating a tube at the top. Make sure the rough side is on the inside.
-
5
Using a safety pin, (pinned to the end of the elastic),
pull the elastic through the skirt and once you get to the other end, tie it in a knot top make a loop. -
6
With the skirt inside out (rough sides together), sew down the open edge.

Turn it out the right way around, and voila, your own simple skirt! :D
