You Will Need (3 things)

  • 100x150 Of Fabric X2
  • Fabric Scissors
  • Measuring Tape

Steps (17 steps, 180 minutes)

  1. 1

    Gather supplies.
    Wash and iron your fabric.

  2. 2

    Fold one of your fabric in half, right sides together.
    Measure the width, 50 for me since it is folded, and mark it with a shark or pins.
    Measure the lenth (60cm for me) and mark it.

  3. 3

    Determine the shap of your skirt. You can cut a rectangle or a kind of a strange shape like here. Mark it or pin it.

  4. 4

    Cut your fabric, don't forget to add the seam alowances! For that projetc, I recommend 1cm.

  5. 5

    Now do the same with your other fabric.

  6. 6

    Here's what you get (still folded)

  7. 7

    Pin the sides of one of your fabric still folded. Do the same with your other fabric.

  8. 8

    Time to sew!

  9. 9

    Now you're gonna insert one of your fabric in the other, so the right sides are facing.

  10. 10

    Sew the 2 layers at 1cm from the top of the skirt. Turn out the skirt.

  11. 11

    Sew another seam 2 cm (depends of the width of your elastic) from the other. Leave some space to insert the elastic.

  12. 12

    Insert the elastic using a safety pin.

  13. 13

    Sew the ends of the elastic together. Secure it well.

  14. 14

    Close the space you left for the elastic. Almost done!

  15. 15

    Fold your 2 fabric 1cm from the bottom of the skirt. Pin it.

  16. 16

    Sew very close from the edge.

  17. 17

    You're done!
