Love DIY fashion, but having a hard time finding the perfect project idea?
The maxi skirt is super versatile and can be made from old fabric.
Thrift store finds like curtains would work great for this one.
All you need is a large piece of fabric you find beautiful.
Look for an interesting texture and/or color to make your maxi skirt.
Step 3
Using a rufflerfoot, gather the top edge (WIDTH) of each panel.
Step 5
Sew up both of the long sides.
Step 6
For the waist band, the fabric needs to be really stretchy.
ensure the stretchiest part is going side to side along waist measurement.
Add an extra 1/2 inch for seam allowance.
Step 7
Now its time to stitch up the waist band.
Fold the fabric lengthwise and match the edges and start sewing using a straight stitch.
Give it a nice press using an iron once done.
Step 8
Mark waistband in quarter sections and mark the skirt in quarters too.
Match them up and double-check the skirt is tucked under and the waist band should be going around it.
Step 9
Use seam allowance wide enough so you dont see the gathering stitches.
Only stretch the waist band as you sew and remember to use your stretch or zig zag stitch.
Step 10
Try it on and see if you are staisfied with the length.
If so, stitch the hem at the bottom and youre done!
