The Maxi
Remember that one time I used to sew clothes? Well cross country traveling mixed with nausea every night really put a damper on my desire to sew. But I started getting the itch a few weeks ago with all of my gorgeous new fabric. So I decided to ease back into my sewing machine with a simple, fabulous especially if you're pregnant, maxi skirt.
Handkerchief Skirt w/ Roll Down Waistband from hand-me-down t shirts
Supplies: -scissors -sewing machine -thread -measuring tape -sewing pins -Choosing a Material: So you're going to need material. You can buy fabric, I'd suggest a cotton/lycra blend, or something that's a bit stretchy. In this, I use hand-me-down t shirts. -Amount of Material: For a size 6ish women's, I use 3 mens shirts in this, but I would suggest at least one more so that it flows a bit better.

You can use earth tones, dark blues, and forest greens for Renaissance faires. Gothic belly dancing (raks Gothique) has basic black as a given, but you can also go with deep purple or burgundy (blood red). Here's how to make your own pattern. Get a tape measure.
AutoCAD Circle Skirt
What you need: - 5-6 yards of fabric for the skirt (make the pattern to your dimensions first, then calculate how much fabric you need) - 1/2 yard or so of heavier fabric for the waistband - wide ribbon or trim, two lengths of cord or shoelace - grommets & grommeting tool - pair of pants that fits snugly on your waist and hips - sewing machine, basic sewing supplies & skills - AutoCAD software & large-format printer (not absolutely necessary, you can draw your pattern by hand on large sheets of paper) Obviously, it's not worth going out and buying a copy of AutoCAD to draw up simple sewing patterns. But if you happen to have access to the software and a large-format printer and you know how to use them, well, why not?

How to Make a Skirt out of a Pile of Scraps: No Pattern Needed!
April 18th, 2009 Email 33 users recommendA "gore" is simply a triangular panel of fabric. For a skirt the tip of the triangle is nipped off, resulting in a sort of long trapezoid. This eliminates excess fabric at the waist while still providing fullness at the hem. Just a bit trickier than a basic gathered skirt, gored skirts are a good choice when the fabric you wish to use is too bulky to gather easily (or flatteringly) at the waist. (Note: If the skirt is for a growing girl, I recommend using the easy gathered skirt instead.
