First off, I am very proud of this skirt. If you want to see how to make it, here is a link to the tutorial star-trek-skirt. Also I love these tights! It's no secret that I really like mustard. And I also wear tights a lot, in the winter. I was so exited when my sister found these at Target on clearance. She was kind enough to get them for me, and I love them. Also, have you noticed that I wear black and white prints with mustard a lot? Well I do. I think it really pops. I hope you've enjoyed this post. Have a great day! -Zoe

DIY: Easy Fitted Maxi Skirt

 I was recently at Joann's Fabric, and I got this yard of knit fabric for $5, in a awesome print! As you can tell from the picture above, I made a maxi skirt from it. I think it turned out really well, and it takes like 20 minutes to make. Want to see how? Just keep scrolling.

I made a measurement of my hips, and used that for piece A. Notice A is folded over while B is not. For the sake of  you understanding the pictures, I've labeled the two pieces of fabric, I had to cut. 

 Then I cut.

 I turned B the other way, laid it over A right sides together, pinned, and sewed. This way the fabric of A is going to stretch horizontal and B is vertical. It is preferable to just buy more fabric and have it all stretching horizontally, and save yourself the extra step. But I'm a cheap-skate.      

 I did wind up cutting some fabric off the bottom, but don't cut off too much, you need it to be longer than you think.

 I cut off some fabric to make the top waist area smaller. This will help it stay up, when you where it.

 Then I sereged around the entire thing. You can also hem it with a standard sewing machine. 

 I pinned down the two sides together (leaving a slit at the bottom)....

 ..and straight stitched, with my sewing machine. 

This is what it should look like. Yes, that was really all it takes.

 Now this is how you wear it. NO, not this picture, scroll down.

 Isn't this cool?! 

I love how it turned out, it's so comfortable! 

And, since it's essentially just a tube, you can also wear it as a scarf! Also cute! I hope you've enjoyed this post! Have a great day!-Zoe
