How to make an easy summer skirt for girls
Hello everyone,
I am Daniela, for On the Cutting Floor. I am very happy to be here with you J
Lisa has invited me today to join you guys and make something cool and special for this summer.
I have made this gathered skirt for girls.
It is a very simple concept but one of the most popular skirt for girls, mainly because of its beauty, easiness and adaptability.
It is so easy to make that it does not need a pattern.
Besides, you can adapt the measurements and make one for any age (I am seriously thinking of a skirt for myself!)
Note:
-For this project I used a gathering foot. This is optional, but I always recommend to add it to your sewing tools; it is affordable (between 4 to 6 dollars) and it will make the gathers even and incredible easy.
-Always remember to use a zig-zag stitch when working with knit fabrics.
Materials
Fabric: ½ to ¾ yards of jersey cotton
Matching thread
Stretch needle
Gathering foot (optional)
