I found this fabric at Hancock’s in the remnant section and knew I had to make a skirt from it. Unfortunately, it is a very thin, light weight cotton and there was only 1 1/3 yards of it. I figured I’d make do.
Since I had very little to work with, I couldn’t mess with hems and casings. So, I followed angry chicken’s steps and did a rolled hem with my serger. I also used a wide bias tape for the elastic waist casing, saving me from having a mini skirt (I didn’t have any FOE). I also made a lining to help with the see-through-ness. It is only attached at the waist. It was super easy, taking less than an hour, while watching project runway.
Have a very nice weekend!
be careful with the FOE.. I am now an addict and need a thirteen step group.. got some for me, let some of my friends try it out and now we are going on yet another order with sewzanne (can’t find it here) for over 100 Yards!!! it’s amazing, works great on kids clothes…
p.s. – super cute skirt.. see, that FOE gets me all off track!
Love it!
Super cute!
That turned out really cute, and what a great pattern.
That’s so cute – I love it.

I love that skirt! It looks fabulous on you and the colors are so great!

Wow great skirt.
Ooh, I love that! I have some similar yellow/brown stripey fabric that I’m going to have to make a skirt with now. 🙂
Love the skirt, great colors! -kb
OMG! I love this skirt…last time I tried attempting a similar skirt I basically made it to fit a 6 year old. There was no way this 20-something year old butt was fitting into it. I need to work on my cutting and measurements! lOL!
