  Step 1

  Take the net fabric and cut it into an equilateral square. Similarly cut the lining fabric.

• 

  Step 2

  Fold any 1 fabric it into half, and then fold again (into half).
  As you need to cut a circle right in the middle of each square fabrics, you'll need to sort out the radius of the circle. Here's how you do it: Measure the waist and add 3-4 inches, then divide the total number by 6.28 to get the radius. Now. use a compass to mark a line for the circle from the closed corner of the folded fabric. Use a chalk to mark the circle line. Then cut the fabric at the line.

• 

  Step 3

  After you're done cutting, now arrange the 2 pieces as you want.
  I placed the cotton fabric on the bottom and net fabric on the top. I pinned both pieces together around the circle, so it wouldn't move.

• 

  Step 4

  Take the elastic, hold it around the waste and stretch it (make sure it's comfortable). Cut out the elastic, keeping 1.5 allowance. Now sew both sides of the elastic, by keeping 1 inch over another and use the zigzag stitch.

• 

  Step 5

  Now pin the elastic around the circle (right side of the skirt). First pin the front side, then the back side and then the rest.

• 

  Step 6

  Now it's sewing time! Stretch the elastic between the pins as much as you can, by covering the whole fabric around the waist. Use the zigzag stitch. Sew all around it and done! Enjoy your fluffy square skirt!

So simple but so lovely! I love the tulle underneath, it looks mismatched but in a good way
