Cool skirt from old yoga skirt!

Monday, February 20, 2012

One of my best friends was given this cool fabric from Africa and wanted a skirt made from it...here is a very easy way to make a skirt!

Find an old skirt that you no longer wear
Cut the fabric you are going to use in large squares and iron it.  Then sew the fabric to the front and back of the skirt!
This was a yoga skirt so it had the fold, I liked using this because the skirt can be worn as a high-waisted skirt or folded.  Sew fabric over the inside and outside of the fold.
The skirt was originally stretchy material, since it is now covered in fabric the skirt will no longer be stretchy so I added a zipper to the back so it would fit.  Just cut a slit in the back long enough for the zipper and sew it in.
Wear the skirt high-waisted

or folded...
then make a cute outfit! :)
