I made a three -tiered skirt for Lydia today. I followed the directions here at CHK for Home-styled Tiered Skirts, that Wardee wrote. I only altered the instructions for the elastic waistband a little. I stretched the elastic out and cut it at the waist measurement plus one inch.
I have to tell you that these instructions are the very best I have ever found on the internet. They are basically the same as all the other instructions, but Wardee has a way of explaining them that far surpasses all the other available instructions.
Here is a picture of the Lydia wearing the skirt after it was finished. It took about 1 1/2 hours to finish it from cutting to final press.
The next three pictures are the fabric in various stages of finish.
First are the three pieces of fabric I cut and sewed each together, pressing the seams.
Next is a picture of me gathering and pinning the third tier to the second tier.
And finally, here is a picture of the finished skirt.
Lydia loves her new skirt! You should try to make some for you or your daughters or other girls in your life.
Thanks, just what I was looking for. Can’t wait to make one for each of my four daughters.
Sylvia! This is SO pretty! I was thinking of making one for my daughter and one for myself! 😉 I’m itching to make them, now! 🙂
This is lovely….
Oh I love it! Looks so easy and simple. I’m just starting out myself, definitely putting this on my to do list!!
Oh this is lovely! 🙂
Thanks you! It was very easy to make, too.
So pretty! It feels like spring. 🙂
Thank you, Marg!
