Do you love fat quarters, but are not sure what to make with the fun fabrics? Here is another use for fat quarters. This fun skirt is made using just 3 fat quarters!
Supplies- You need two fat quarters of the same fabric and one contrast fat quarter.
-Fold all fat quarters length wise and cut along the fold. Now you should have six pieces of fabric
-Set aside the two pieces of contrast fabric for now (will call this fabric A)
- Take one piece from main fabric (will call this fabric B) and cut 1” off both sides of the fabric. This will be used for your top layer. The remaining three pieces of fabric B will be used for the bottom ruffle (will call this fabric C).
- With right sides together sew fabric B at side seams. Fold fabric to make a waist band.
- With right sides together sew fabric A at side seams. Sew a basting stitch ¼” from top of fabric to make a gather.
- Sew waist band (fabric B) to top layer (fabric A) leaving an opening at one side seam (for the elastic). Trim.
-Sew all three cuts from fabric c together to form a circle. Hem the bottom of the fabric. Gather the top of the fabric.
- With right sides together sew fabric A & B together. Trim.
- Measure the waist of the lucky little girl who will wear the skirt and cut elastic accordingly. Guide Elastic through waist band (fabric B). Sew ends of elastic together. Sew opening on waist band and skirt to close the hole.
- So elastic doesn’t turn. Sew a reinforcing stitch at both of the side seams of the skirt on the waist band.
*This skirt will fit 4-6 years of age. To make small just trim the layers or to make bigger add another layer.
