Take a rectangle of fabric, sew ends together, hem the bottom, sew a casing for the top (leaving a gap), in the gap thread some elastic, sew elastic, and finish sewing the casing. Wa lah!
I wanted to make this one a bit more fun. So I added two addition fabrics to the bottom, making the skirt 3-tiered. Now that spring is officially on its way, it will be fun to make more dresses and skirts for her...knowing they'll actually get to be used!
MADE had a recent post on skirts too, a layered one like this, only with 2 layers and it totally got me inspired to make a bunch for my little 2 year old! For $1.75-$2 each it is so much cheaper....and CUTER...than storebought skirts and shorts! Yours turned out darling!
