You Will Need (4 things)

  • Sewing Machine
  • 50 Fabric if you use felt hems are not necessary
  • 50 cm Fabric for the inside skirt
  • Thread

Steps (6 steps, 150 minutes)

  1. 1

    Measure your waistline and hip width. Measure from your waistline down how long you want the skirt to be.

    Draw a pattern on pattern paper based on your measurements.
    Cut out and take over on fabric twice (front and back of skirt).

  2. 2

    Sew two coupe seams in the front and back part. The coupe seams in the front part should be a little longer than the ones in the back.

  3. 3

    Sew the two parts on the right side together. Sew the zipper in the left side.

  4. 4

    Repeat the above with the fabric for the inside skirt (lining of the skirt). Make it about 5 cm shorter than the felt skirt. Instead of the zipper, leave an opening that is 2 com shorter than the zipper.

  5. 5

    Sew the felt skirt and the lining together on the top of the skirt.

  6. 6

    Use sharp cissors to cut the skirt to the right length.

    I used embroidering thread and dragonfly beads to decorate it.

    Done!
