The making of our skirts<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I took a long vintage skirt that I picked up in the Champion Jack’s<\/a> closing sale on Boxing Day (the local store has closed down, but they do have an online shop<\/a>). I was not sure what to do today with two feverish children, so I cut the skirt in half and made skirts for my daughter and I.<\/p>\n

I didn’t really follow any patterns, since it was already half-sewn, but here are some great skirt tutorials I found that I may try later:<\/p>\n

The Drawstring Skirt Tutorial<\/a> – I plan to try that one. I made my daughter’s with a drawstring patterned after the one on here.<\/p>\n

The Harmony Drawstring Skirt<\/a> – this would be cute for girls – much sleeker than the one I made, which was about three times as wide. My daughter likes hers full so that she can twirl better.<\/p>\n

There are about a million more on pinterest, so I don’t think I will need to buy skirts in a store again for a while!<\/p>\n
