Let me know which DIY Skirt Sewing Patterns you would love to wear. Sewing my own skirt, to go with a black lace crop top is my plan for my brothers upcoming wedding in SPAIN!! Yes you read that right I get to go to SPAIN!!! But before I do, I wanted to share some of the DIY Skirt Sewing Patterns that have been inspiring me lately! So I thought why not make my own!!… how hard can it be to create a beautiful flowy skirt and then add a cute top to it?!?! The tree skirt also makes a beautiful cape! Not that I wore it around my house for awhile or anything *wink*.Who loves attending weddings?!?! I DO!! But what to wear on that special day? Do you struggle with what to wear to a wedding? Wedding guest dresses are beautiful… but I always try on a tonne of them, and then never find what I picture in my head of what I want to wear. I spent about $25 on the skirt (and numerous hours and even more numerous hot glue burns), but I think it was worth it. The linen is about $5-6/yd and you will need 4 yards. I already had the drop cloth on hand but a drop cloth costs $10. This isn’t necessarily a “dirt cheap” project. I would simply fold my next length of linen over…. When I would come to the end of a ruffle (see picture below)… The hot glue soaks through the layers of material nicely and holds it all in place. I found it easier to just fold and glue, fold and glue. Marian recommends pushing out a bead of hot glue no longer than 12 inches and gathering your material in the glue as you go. (Eowyn has to get in on ALL of my projects!) Once around the tree, that shape didn’t look as great. Here you can see the shape I was going for. The edge of my linen already had a nice fray to it so I matched the fray with other pieces of linen on the outer edge. It turned out fine, but if I were to do it again I would just cut it in an exact circle. I cut a piece of drop cloth in a curvy circle because I wanted my skirt to have a bit more interest than a circle skirt. She does a great job of walking you through the steps so I’ll just add a few of my own tips. I won’t make this post long because I basically just followed Marian’s tutorial here. Yesterday I revealed my Christmas tree and promised a quick tutorial on the linen ruffle tree skirt.
