Inside Out Dress ∙ How To by Peggals <3 on Cut Out. Lace Ballet Skirt w/ Raw Edges DIY Fashion. * 1 yard of lace fabric …unless you want it longer, then measure appropriately {I had an almost square piece of vintage ivory lace} * Matching thread * Ribbon {color & size & texture of your choice} * Scissors, pins, tape measure * This is a simple drawstring style skirt. * Cut edges off lace, and into a circle of sorts.

(Before It's News) Summer is coming and with the temperature rising my daughter is in need of some easy skirts to stay cool. A basic elastic waist skirt is the perfect solution and so quick to make. You can make it for any girl 12 months to adult for just about 1 yard of fabric. I wanted to make a really fluffy skirt so mine is much fuller than needed. Here are the instructions: -1 yard fabric (44″ wide)-1 inch elastic-matching thread 1. 12 months: 10″2T: 11″3T: 12″4T: 13″5T: 14: Then it tapers off.

Cut your elastic to the width of the waist. 12 months: 17″ long2T: 18″ long3T: 20″ long4T: 22″ long5T: 24″long and so on Cut a third panel 4″ wide x 44″ long. 2. Press the seam open. Pull the threads and gather the fabric to match the length of the smaller waist panel. 3. 4. 5. 6. Now you are done. *if you don’t want such a full look you can reduce the length of your panels.

At long last, I present a tutorial for the tank dress I made a few weeks ago before the end of the semester blindsided me. I’ve been seeing these tank+patterned skirt all over the place lately, but frequently they were too short or too short-waisted for my particular proportions.

After some googling, and studying the really excellent skirt tutorial and t-shirt dress tutorial at Ruffles and Stuff and the skirt with pockets tutorial at Freshly Picked, I decided that even my fairly rudimentary sewing skills could handle this project. And since I celebrated my height yesterday for Dress Your Best week, it seems appropriate to post a sewing project prompted by my need for a longer-than-in-stores dress. Supplies: a tank top2 yards or so of patterned fabricscraps of a coordinating fabric for pocketsmatching threaddisappearing fabric pen or chalk Steps: 1. 3. 4. Pin and cut out a pair. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. A note of warning. I can imagine so many fun variations on this. DIY.
