A Vintagely Modern Skirt

And this skirt is just the ticket…. I based it on a skirt that I pinned months ago. What a fun modern color-blocked skirt was my first thought when I pinned it. But when I examined a couple of the close-up pictures I realized that it really was a total throw-back full gathered skirt from the 1950′s that I put on dresses all the time. I absolutely love how this skirt can look like a modern cute skirt, and then by simply adding a pettiskirt under it…it immediately goes straight back to a lovely era of fashion, especially for little girls. And, here is my version…. {The Vintagely Modern Skirts} And here’s how I made them…. Step #1: Take your waist measurement. Step #2: Measure how long you want your skirt to be. Step #3: Cut your main fabric your length (minus a contrasting band if you are doing the color-blocking) and the triple-waist-measurement.

Step #4: Sew the main fabric piece like the picture below. ~Elizabeth. Simple Elastic Skirt. I have made a ton of elastic waist skirts, with pockets, without pockets, with ruffles without ruffles and so on.

Simple Elastic Skirt

This is a tutorial on how to make a simple elastic skirt. It is very easy and quick to make, in fact I made two of these during the children's nap-time (one for me and one for my sis) First measure your waist and cut your elastic: Determine how long you want your skirt. I made my 22 inches long (including the seam) To determine the width of the fabric. For example: I cut my elastic at 32 inches, so that times two is 64. Then take your fabric and fold in half with the right sides together: Sew the edges together: Iron the seam that you just sewed open: For the hem, fold a half an inch and iron: Then fold over an inch and iron: Hemless a-line skirt.
