It’s the skirt of the
season, and one of the easiest skirts to make.

Step 1: Choose your
fabric.
I choose a very fiddly silk patterned fabric (because it was on sale at the fabric store), but I would normally suggest using a stretch so you won’t need to bother with hems.
Step 2: Measure
To find out how much
fabric you will need, measure around your waist (at the level you want your
skirt to sit). Then double this measurement to get the length of fabric you will
need.
Step 3: Stitch a tube
Fold about 5 cms of
the fabric over at the top, then pin and stitch to make a ‘tube’. Once you have
this tube, thread some elastic through it. For elastic threading instructions,
see my previous post here:
Step 4: Sew it up
Step 5: Frolick
