In the summer of 2006, my family went on holiday without me and I had to work, but in the evenings I had nothing to do, so I made a few skirts that summer (three). This post I about my favorite of the three of them.
It is black with some red silk bands. It was very easy to make. All I had was a bit piece of black fabrick. All I did was to first cut two pieces who when sewed together went around my hips. And on top of this piece I added some strechy band. So that it would stay at my hips and didnt fell down. Then I cut two pieces who were a bit wider and taller. I stiched long stiches on top of this and the dragged the tread a bit, so that the fabrick got as wide as the piece above, then I sewed that pice together and then sewed in onto the previous piece. And this I did with the rest of pieces, until my skirt was wide and tall enough for me. It is kind of hard to explain :P
On the bottom of the skirt I have sewed on some tulle to make the edge a bit puffy. Then when I was done with that I sewed onto some red silk bands to cover up the seam between the pieces I sewed together.
Done !
Below are pictures of me with the skirt, and the skirt alone.
