Today it's a lace and tulle skirt that was inspired by this skirt (a lace skirt with a sheer mesh ruffle peeking out at the hem).
For the lace skirt:
Supplies needed:
- 18 inches of 3 7/8 inch wide nylon lace trim at $3.78 per yard, 18 inches will only cost $1.89
- 10.5 inches of oval cord elastic which is about 3/16 inches wide
Instructions:
- This lace trim already came with a casing at the top. Using the tiniest safety pin you can find, attach it to the end of the oval cord elastic and thread it through the lace casing.
- Sew up the skirt seam with a .5 inch seam allowance.
For the tulle and tissue lame skirt:
Supplies needed:
- 18 inches by 6 inches fabric that's the same on each side, I used tissue lame
- 18 inches by 4.5 inches tulle
- 10.5 inches of 3/8 inch elastic
Instructions:
- For the hem at the bottom of the skirt fabric fold over and press .5 inch and again .5 inch. For the casing at the top of the skirt, fold over and press .5 inch and again .5 inch but towards the right side of the skirt (see photo).
- Topstitch hem.
- Place tulle under the folds of the casing (see photos).
- With tulle in place topstitch the casing.
- Using a small safety pin, attach it to the end of the 3/8 inch wide elastic and thread it through the casing.
- Sew up the skirt seam with a .5 inch seam allowance.
