Skirt Mania

Who doesn't want to be able to make inexpensive, simple skirts in mass quantities and many varied styles? I know I do. The simple elastic waist skirt pattern (discussed here and tutorial here) have given both me and my students that opportunity. My girls LOVED making these skirts. Some made multiple ones. Girls who weren't even in the class would pay me money for fabric to make them. One of my favorite students (who is now going into high school...sniff sniff) loved one so much, and I had extra, that she made one too and we both wore them today. Total nerds--gotta love it! Oh how I wish I could post that picture. In any case, I highly recommend this project to anyone who is just starting out and wants to be able to significantly add to their wardrobe.

You can make it simple:

Or you can mix it up a little with ruffles and layers and such:

I saw that fabric at Joann's and just couldn't pass it up. Look closely and you will see that the flowers are 3-D-- they are sewn on and stick out and are AWESOME.

So, in conclusion-- cheap, simple skirts. Thank you, cheap Wal-Mart fabric...and overly priced Joann's Fabric! :)
