Obsession with skirts.....


 These beauties are easy and soooooo much fun to make.  I finished the first one and couldn't wait to make another.  I shortened this one a little and added another ruffle.  you use the same calculations as the longer, just take a few inches off the bottom.  Again, I used the overcasting foot on my sewing machine to finish the edges instead of a traditional hem.  I think it turned out great and I again, can't wait to make more.  I'm thinking big, slouchy pockets on the next one.  :)  So fun!
The skirt after I finished the edges and attached the two pieces together.
 I used a 1 1/4" elastic for the waist band.
Perfect for twirling!
