Easiest Skirts ever…

Bubble Knit skirts have to be the easiest skirts ever to make.  Seriously cut and finished BOTH of these in about 40 minutes.   Cut a 18 x 6″ piece of cotton/lycra for her waist (which is 24.5″ measured) then cut full width x 30″ pieces for the bottom.  Sew both pieces into a tube.  Fold over BOTH pieces to match the raw edges together.  Then I ruffled the edge of the skirt.  Marked the waist “tube” and skirt bottom at halfway and pinned.  Then stretched and serged together the 2 “tubes”. 

Result was 2 play skirts finished!!

Then I also finished these cloth diaper wetbags for Green Pixie Baby’s store.

Whew… it had been a long time since I had really made a point to sew something other then diapers and serge bibs for my Etsy store, lol.   It was fun!!

Cut until its gone…

So I have had this fabric forever and decided it was time to either use it or pass it on to someone that would. I decided it would make great gauchos to lounge in or use as a swimsuit cover or something. Material is a poly/rayon blend is very drapey and silky to the touch.

Well I cut it until there was not enough left to do much with… although I might be able to get a pair of shorts out of it for Tara for a swimsuit cover.

These are being sold Friday night at a congo I belong to called Retro Femme.

First a pair of gaucho style pants with a cotton/lycra stretchy waistband. You can fold the waistband down or leave up whichever you prefer.

Then this simple straight knee length pencil skirt. Has comfy cotton/lycra waistband as well but just shorter. Double Layered so no slip is needed.

Thanks for looking
