I’m loving how the skirt turned out, the fit is perfect!  The skirt has a flat front, so it looks good with a tucked in shirt and elastic in the back, for easy on/off (and easy construction.)  I definitely prefer the ease of elastic-waist bottoms, and the look of the flat front really makes it look more structured.

It’s a bit difficult to see in these photos, but the fabric is corduroy.   I had spotted the floral corduroy on the clearance table at Joann’s, and the pink fabric and ribbon were from my stash.)

  6. Beautiful skirt! Just what I was looking for since all-elastic waists are too bulky for granddaughter. Can you possibly advise on measurement requirements for size 12 skirt? Thank you. LOVE IT!! Marms

    • Thank you! I can definitely do that once I get back into my office, maybe tomorrow. I would need to consult my charts. I do think needs to be done for size 12 is to use half inch instead of quarter inch elastic.

    • I love this skirt!!! Were you able to figure out the requirements for a size 12 skirt? My daughters love to wear skirts, and I had something like this in mind for them. Also, do you have a suggestion for something like this for a size 6/8 womens? My oldest is almost 13, so she is in smaller womens sizes. Thanks.

    • Love this!! Were you able to find your adjustments for a size 12? Also, do you have suggestions for a size 6 petite women size? My oldest is in womens sizes, and they both love skirts.

    • Hi, there is no link, just cut the dimensions for your size from the chart. (Listed under step 1: cut your pieces.)

  12. If you do 2 different fabrics (like in the tutorial) how much fabric do you need of each for a size 2? Is it a yard of the main one and 1/4 yard of the border? Or something like that?

  15. Love the skirt and the tutorial. I am looking to make a solid red skirt for my DD for a school performance. Do you think it will look ok if I skip the bottom border and just hem the skirt up? I too hope to find a light-weight corduroy. Will be my first time using corduroy, what kind of needle do you use? Thank you!

  16. I made two of these skirts yesterday for my two daughters, sizes 6 and 10. I made them for my older daughter’s upcoming birthday party, which has a “Wild at Heart Zoo” theme. So the skirts are kind of wild too (purple leopard print and tie-dye pattern border)! They turned out super cute and the girls love them! And I must admit I feel rather pleased with my efforts! I will post some photos once I have taken some either before or at the party.

    The only thing I did differently was I sewed on the trim before I pulled the elastic and sewed the sides together. That way, the ends of the trim were tucked neatly into that side seam and this worked very well. Since I was using jumbo rickrack, I was concerned about it being bulky and untidy when I tried to turn over the end if I applied the trim after the skirt was finished.

    The pattern was just what I was looking for! Thanks so much for the tutorial!

    • It’s not a printable pattern, but a set of cutting numbers/instrutions. Is that what you are looking for? If so, at the bottom of the post/page 1, it says: “Ready to make one of these skirts for your little one?  Head over to PAGE 2 for the cutting and sewing instructions.” So, follow the link to page 2 for the instructions.
      Good luck,
      Jamie
