Plus it's such a cheerful color. :)Casey Maurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09060290127464174281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8175544093673483573.post-82274000888539849372011-08-06T09:11:33.454-07:002011-08-06T09:11:33.454-07:00Elizabeth - Yes I made my skirt without a pattern....Elizabeth - Yes I made my skirt without a pattern. Normally for a gathered skirt I'd take my hip measurement times 3, in this case I only had 2 1/2 yards, so its not as full as I'd usually make it. I determine the length(plus seam allowance and hem) and just cut out a big rectangle...so this was 90" x 26 1/2"(I didn't have to include hem since it has a finished edge already). I seamed the Center back together, leaving room for a zipper, then gather the top edge. Put a zipper in. I made a waistband, which was 3 1/2" wide by my waist measurement plus 2 1/2"(which gives me 1/2 seam allowance on one edge and 2" on the other to make a tab for my closure). Attach those two pieces together, finish up with all my closures and tada! I have a skirt...easy as pie.Reaganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00360835547677485333noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8175544093673483573.post-47577904885506857612011-08-05T11:50:36.085-07:002011-08-05T11:50:36.085-07:00Love the skirt - did you make it without a pattern...Love the skirt - did you make it without a pattern and if so how?<br />Love the yellow my fave colour of all times.<br />Take care, keep safe, be happy<br />Beverley xxAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06177794795068662601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8175544093673483573.post-7108908582579671012011-08-05T08:50:25.898-07:002011-08-05T08:50:25.898-07:00Love the skirt so much!
