Another new easy to make skirt!

I first saw this skirt over on Sewing in no mans land and fell in love. I love how flattering high waisted skirts can be! She also has the tutorial for a kids version of this skirt, so if you've got a little lady in your life you can whip one up for her too!

Love love love! Now my version has one big difference though... mine is a skirt and a belt, and hers is a one piece skirt. Here's why I went off track with this one... you see my waist is tiny... and my hips/thighs... are MUCH much larger... so to make the top wide enough to fit my bum through would have left a LOT of extra material open in the back... I needed elastic, so I made a simple skirt with an elastic waist and then followed the belt part but sewed the bottom part closed. Easy cheesy. Either way you make it though this sews up in a few hours and is so freaking cute everyone will flip for it!


Seriously how adorable is this thing!!??

    Thanks so much! You should totally make one up too, it was so easy! Now that
    I know how to do it I want to make another one using some vintage fabric

    I have the same issue, tiny waist, big-ish butt and thighs. I'm not crafty enough to make my own skirts though! :)

    Isn't finding clothing that fits the worst?? Lucky "Easy Rider" Jeans
    (that's the only fit from Lucky that works though) fit me perfect!... but
    they are $$$$ but worth it to have jeans that actually fit me without a
    belt!
