Description

Skirts were never easier to make.

Instructions

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. 

   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. 

   Sew the two parts on the right side together. Sew the zipper in the left side. For a very clear instruction on how to sew zippers look here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rm16F2xM-Bk

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. 

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

6. 

   Use sharp cissors to cut the skirt to the right length. I used embroidering thread and dragonfly beads to decorate it. Done!
