Easy skirt
Measure the person you are making the skirt from waist to desired length.
Supplies you will need
you will need to get the length of your skirt plus 2 inches for hemming
Waist elastic
matching thread
Start By
making sure that both ends of your skirt are cut straight.
Then turn right sides together or inside out.
Sew open side together with about 1/2" seam allowance
Then hem the bottom of the skirt by folding the fabric twice about a 1/4" twice and use straight stitch.
Wind your bobbin cause you run out half way through hemming the bottom of the skirt :)
Get distracted by your cute 3 year old asking why you are taking pictures of your sewing stuff and not him. Take one of him and move on :)
Then fold over the top a 1/4" then the width of the elastic. Top stitch with a straight stitch.
Make sure you leave a gap to thread the elastic.
Use a safety pin on one end of the elastic to thread it.
Stitch the ends of the elastic together with a zig zag stitch forward and back a few times to make sure it is secure.
Top stitch the gap.
Sew on any tags or embellishments.
Then try it on and enjoy it!
