Skirts are always in the fashion trend, but it is best if you make your own so that you won't have to buy from stores, plus you can customize it the way that you want! It's cheap and at the same time, you can pick the cloth or design of your skirt! So here's a short tutorial on how to make a skirt

(PS: sorry for the suckish cam quality)

What I used:

1 yard shiny white tulle cloth
1 yard shiny white chiffon cloth
2 yards whitish blue cloth
1 yard garter
Scissors
Needle
White thread

Step 1:

Measure your waist, minus 3 inches from your measurement, then cut the garter with the exact measure. So for example, my waist line is 28 inches, I'll minus 3 inches, so it's not 25 inches. I'll cut the garter in 25 inches.

Step 2:

Flip the cloth upside down, we won't sew it with in the front. It is best to sew it at the back. Then Measure the size of the cloth to your desired length and width.

You should make the width of your cloth longer than your waist line. Multiply it by 2.

So for example, mine is 28, x2, so the width is 56 inches, and the length depends on how short or long you want it to be.

Step 3:

Sew additional cloths above your main cloth/lining (if you have one), this one is optional.

Step 4:

Flip it, the put the garter on top to measure how big is the fold you'll make. Sew the fold. Do not close the fold, make sure there is a hole where the garter can be inserted later on.
