Learn how to make pretty much the easiest DIY skater skirt ever in this beginner sewing project!
You'll learn how to measure and cut out a full circle skirt based on your waist measurement, how to make an elastic waistband, and how to hem the edges for a fully finished skirt. This is a great project for beginners who want to learn how to sew with stretch fabric, or anyone looking for a quick and easy sewing tutorial!
*****
MATERIALS NEEDED:
-1 1/2 or more yards of stretch knit fabric (mine is 95% polyester, 5% spandex - that smooth spandex feel is perfect for the skirt)
-Wide elastic for the waistband (big enough to fit around your waist) - you can get the elastic cut by the yard usually, mine is 2 1/8" wide but a 1 1/2 inch wide elastic would work well too
-Paper for making the pattern
-Ball point needle for sewing stretch fabric
-Sewing machine, pins, tape measure, scissors, thread, etc.

PS: A note from future me a few years after making this video: I know I talk quite fast here and in many of my older tutorials, but I hope you'll check out some of my newer tutorials, too - I've worked hard to improve my videos by speaking slower and improving the video quality and I'm proud of the improvements I've made so I'd love it if you could watch them too! :) Thanks for the support on this video!!!
