Simple DIY Skirt

we are sharing a tutorial for the most adorable skirt. our wonderfully easy sewing how-to’s inspired to buy a sewing machine. Now we just have to get it out of the box! Go check out all of our fantastic projects.

To determine the width of your fabric measure the waist of whomever you are making the skirt for, then double it. (My 5 year old has a 21 inch waist, so I cut 42 inches for the width).

To determine the length, measure where you’d like it to end, then add 1 1/2 inches. (I cut 15 inches for my 5 year old).

Your elastic needs to be 1 inch bigger than the actual waist size (so I cut 22 inches for my 5 year old). Pretty easy right?Once you have determined the width & length, it’s time to cut!

- Place right sides of your fabric together & sew a 1/4 inch seam all the way down.

- Iron open your seam so it lays nice & flat.

Flip right side out and iron over 1/4 inch (you can do this on both ends, since they will both eventually need this).

- For the top, fold over again & press (use your elastic as your guide to see the width of the fold over). I added 1/4 inch on each side of the elastic, since I knew I would be making a seam above & below it.

- Now make a seam on the top & bottom of the part that you just rolled over. Make sure you leave a 2 inch opening to be able to slide the elastic through.
