Striped Skirt Tutorial

[Procrastination]

About how long do you think it would take a beginner to sew this skirt?

hm... i was just wondering, even though this is WAY late, why is it better to do a slit than a circle?

because it's quicker and you save material

I love the skirt; I can't wait to make one for my DD.

(BTW, that photo of lyler523's daughter on page 6 is about the CUTEST thing I've ever SEEN!)

rickrackruby-this is a great tute. Your tutes and projects are always classics and forever running threads. You are great at what you do. I love how you encourage young crafters and I love your blog. Great work at being a super lady!! Women of quality shine, don't they??

I second that. Your tutes are always incredible, and they help encourage everyone to feel like they can craft and sew everything: even really hard projects.

Thanks everybody!  I consider it kind of my mission to encourage young sewers and I am always trying to think of fun new designs.   This skirt is very easy and it's great if you have a serger but haven't really gotten it out of the box yet.  Errr... not that that ever happens or anything. 

Trust me on the slit - You have to be very precise when you cut out the circle for the waist in a circle skirt.  Most people cut it too big because they fail to consider the seam allowance.  Please trust me when  I say that a slit is better for a beginner.  I have taught circle skirts and these knit skirts for several years.  Look for my Rooty-tooty fresh and fruity skirt for another version.

I just wanted to thank you for this tutorial! I've had some jersey knit sheets forEVER, and I've been searching for something to do with them. Lately I've been converting my skirts to tops, and this was perfect! I now have a cute Easter outfit for tomorrow

I made that exact skirt.  Same fabric, same style.  Not kidding.

This tut was so easy! Finally I've made something I can wear in public!! I just used an old red jersey knit sheet I had and it's so comfy! Now I have a start maybe I can start finally making items I can wear. Great job and Thanks
