My take on the Infinity Dress (4 pics) *double layer pixie skirt tutorial pg.2*

[bluwave06]

My sister's graduation is coming up so, I made this last night from 100% polyester to wear. Instead of a circle skirt I made a double layer pixie skirt and an elastic waistband. It was sewn together on my new serger, so all edges and seams are serged.

Here are two of the many ways to wear it:
 




Thnx for looking

Thank you all for the comments. I will post action shots when I wear it. I love my new serger it is a Singer ultralock. My parents and sisters didn't really care for the fabric, but I loved the 60's feel of it.

 All I did was make the circle skirt into squares, I cut two. I used this tutorial for the skirt part: http://www.whatthecraft.com/tuts/circ.htm then I layered the two squares in opposite directions (so there are three points). As for the waistband, I measured the waist part of the skirt then added a few inches to allow for where it overlaps (it should be bigger than your actual measurement). I cut the elastic to the waist (or where you measured for your skirt) minus about an inch. Tunnel the elastic through the band and stitch across the opened ends of casing catching the elastic. I can draw up a picture if you want a visual illustration.

Since I'm a big dummy, a visual would be grand! Thank you!
