How Do You Make Your Own Skirt?

Answer Question

1 Answer - Sort by: Date | Rating

    Here's a simple method of tailoring your own skirt. Get a yard of cloth, if possible a stretch material, not one which is knitted. Measure sufficient elastic to go around your waist, stretch it a little bit. Keep a small portion to sew the ends of the elastic. Then, cut the yard of cloth into two equal parts along its length. The stitch the two parts together on the shorter ends of each so as to create a tube. Hem one end of the tube and then make an outlet for the elastic at the end of the tube which is not hemmed. Pass the elastic through the outlet and stitch the ends of the elastic together. Your basic skirt is now finished; you can go on to add decorative elements like ribbons or fringes.
