MATERIALS NEEDED:
Fabric of your choice: I used 1.5 yards of a cotton that was only 42” wide; if your fabric is wider, you may need less fabric, so follow the first few steps to see how big to cut your rectangle of fabric, then buy based on that size to make sure you get enough!
1.5” wide elastic for the waistband
Sewing Machine: this is the machine I used: amzn.to/2HcBk3b *
Needles
Thread: this is my favorite because it’s strong & durable: amzn.to/2TEiTbr *
Scissors: this is a great affordable set I’ve had for years: amzn.to/2NMnZBl *
Pinking Shears: I think it's worth it to get the name brand of these because I've used cheaper pairs that didn't cut good or last as long: amzn.to/3eHbuTt *
Pins
Tape Measure

I haven`t sewn in years and have now restarted and after looking at your method I`m blown. So, so to the point and some much more info as well. The little tip on the pinking sheers was well received. You`ve lifted my spirits after disappointing day of not being able to finish my gran daughter dress for the harvest. My God! Fabulous!!!
I just did today this skirt following the tutorial step by step and adjusting the measurements to mine, and the skirt is as it should be, very easy to understand, very real, I am very pleased with mine, the fabric cost me only 50 cents in a second-hand shop. thanks so much, I have a new skirt now!!!!! following you from Finland
Thank you sooooo much for this tutorial, I've made my first skirt with all your help, and when I grow up, I'm going to have a sewing company!!! 😁😁
This was great! I bookmarked it so I will know how to make feature skirts! Thank you!
First time ever sewing clothes going to try to make this skirt I’m really hopeful!
Such clear instruction . Thank you so much for a great tutorial
Thank you so much! ive searched high and low for a easy way to make a elasticated skirt as im a beginner! This was perfect and your explanation was great. So easy to follow! new subscriber!
I love your videos! U are so anointed to teach. I have watched many many sewing tutorials from other seamstress but there is something very special about u that allows u to explain sewing instructions so easily. When I watch ur videos I am left excited to try each new project u do. Where as with other videos from other sewists I am left with more confusion & more questions than answers. Keep up the good work. Like I always say a good teacher, preacher etc. Is able to teach & explain a thing where even a child could understand.
Thanks again
Aw thank you so much for such an incredibly kind comment!!! It means so much to me to hear that you’re able to understand my projects and leave excited to make them - that’s really the best compliment 😊 I’m so happy you’ve enjoyed my videos and I really appreciate you taking the time to leave such nice words. I hope you have so much fun making some projects and I hope you have a blessed day! Happy sewing 😄
Nicely done! This is the kind of project any beginning sewer can accomplish well, and feel proud of wearing as a solid piece in their wardrobe! You explained it very clearly, and with really good camera shots.

Thank you, this was excellent! Easy to follow instructions and nicely explained. Now I have a new skirt, and this is so easy that I can make new in no time once I get some more fabric 🤩
I enjoyed this video. Thank you for the added details about measuring, stripes, and pinking sheers. I’m going to try making this skirt. New subscriber.
Omg! That was one of the best beginner tutorials I’ve ever seen. You hit on a lot of points that a beginner would miss, such as making sure the pattern matches on both sides before sewing it together. Thank you!!
Thank you so much, that means so much to me! 😃 I try really hard to include as many beginner tips as I can in my tutorials so anyone can make them, and it's nice to know that it was easy to follow. Happy sewing!

Thank you so much! My skirt looks amazing even though this was my first real sewing project!
Hi 👋 I just made one of these using some tartan fabric from the thrift shop. It turned out really well. If I made another from the heavier fabric I'd probably do a 1.5 hem including 0.5 turn under. It's very comfortable & I'll be making more. Thanks for sharing x

What a cute skirt you have now. I love the way you paired it over leggings, it is still quite cold here. Have an awesome weekend.
Thank you!! Yes it’s on and off cold here as well so definitely need the tights this time of year... it’ll be nice when it warms up though lol! And thank you, I hope you’re having a great week too 😃
You made that look so much easier than I thought it was! Thanks for making this tutorial.
This was super easy to follow I made a quick skirt for my ugly sweater day at work (if you put in the work to make an ugly sweater you have to make a skirt too right)
Do you wear the seam down the back?
I do not have and elastic. Could I use a pull string waist instead?
Can I do this without a sewing machine? And hand sew?
Very nice video and nicely explain.I like your video.Can you make video on A line skirt Thank you for nice video.
Thank you so much! I'm happy you liked the tutorial 😃 And thanks for the suggestion, I'll add it to my long list of project ideas. Happy sewing!
Excellent video... I'd love to make this but I D like to make it just below the knee (longer) and a smaller waistband... Would this still work?? Thank you 😊
Thanks! You can definitely cut it longer 😃 And you could also use a narrower piece of elastic for the waistband, that would be fine! Happy sewing!!
@@ComicatCreations thank you 😊
Hello Monica, another fab video. It seems ages since your last one. x
Thanks Jacqueline! So glad you liked it 😃
This was so helpful! I have two questions. Hopefully you see this- I know this is an old video:/. I have a see through fabric and need to attach a liner to the inside of my skirt. What’s the best way to do this and should I do it before I do anything else? Also where did u but ur elastic waist band that you used here? Thanks!!
I don’t know about the liner but I purchased elastic at hobby lobby as well as on Etsy!
I made this skirt.
Could you do an skirt with zipper?
Thanks
I’m so glad you made it! 😃 I almost never sew clothing with zippers because I have some pain problems that make zippers really uncomfortable for me to wear so I don’t have a lot of confidence in demoing them on camera, but if I ever do start using them more and feel comfortable making one for a tutorial I will keep that in mind!
Hola!
Your wide is 45" plus 4".
How much you added for extra room?
Beautiful skirt
Gracias desde Puerto Rico
Hi! So glad you like the skirt! 😃 I added 3 inches for the extra room and then 1 inch for the seam allowance for a total of 4 inches. Thanks for watching!
What is a ballpoint needle
A ballpoint needle is a needle that's designed to be used for stretch knit fabric - it has a slightly rounded end which makes it sew stretch knit better than a standard needle 😃
Please do maxi skirts n dresses please do😫🙏🙏 you are amazing! 👌🌈🌹
I will definitely try to make some maxi dresses and skirts when I get caught up on all my projects and planned projects 😃 I was hoping to make a maxi dress at the end of summer but had to change plans. Thank you for the request!’
Nice I’ve made a kids skirt
Awesome!! Thanks for watching!
🤩😍👍
😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
😃💕
😃❣️
I listened to the video wrong so now I have yard and a half of fabric dear god I messed up. Should I make the skirt the same way or not?
Personally, I would hem before sewing the side seam
I used to do that too but I actually prefer doing it the other way because I’ve found that the hem looks a lot cleaner when you do it last so that you can’t see any exposed seam allowance peaking out at the bottom edge of the skirt. Also even though I used pinking shears, if the bottom of the seam allowance started fraying or anything then it’ll be more likely to be seen while you’re wearing the skirt so I’ve just found doing the hem last creates the neatest appearance! Plus I tend to be indecisive so I like to be able to try my garment on before hemming it because I’m likely to change my mind and adjust the length a bit more 😄 Thanks for watching!!
@@ComicatCreations awesome
Her voice is weird 😂😂😂😂
She sounds like a mixture between Swedish and American...
