I tend to believe that sometimes patterns are more of a headache than they are a benefit, especially for a simple design. I always have to alter it to fit my body which takes time. So, this time I decided to draft my own skirt design. It turned out really nice and is something that I can wear both for work and for going out. It was also super simple to make.

Materials needed:

Nice stretchy cotton fabric
Sewing machine
Zipper

Directions:

1. Measure your waist where you would like the skirt to hit. Measure out desired length as well.
2. Cut out two squares of fabric (divide your desired waist length in half.)
3. Fold over a quarter seam on the top and bottom of each fabric square to seal off the edges.
4. Sew each square together (if you want a slit like I have then only sew to the point you want the slit to fall, seam off the edges.)
5. For the zipper, it is best to have a zipper foot and to not have lost it in a move (like I did). Then it is not so difficult. But, smarter crafters than I have written on this before, I followed this tutorial and it worked out fine. After the zipper is done that is it, you are done! Woo hoo super easy sexy skirt!
