Simple Skirt!

This skirt is made just like the bubble one I posted before, the only difference is that instead of tacking the skirt under to create a bubble effect you just cut and hem the bottom normally. I only used 1/2-3/4 a yard of fabric for this skirt and with a 50% off coupon from JoAnns the skirt only cost me around $3 for the fabric. The most expensive part is the elastic waistband. To figure out how much elastic to buy just measure around your waist where you would like the elastic to be and add an inch for when you sew it together. Pretty simple! :)

Striped Seersucker Dress

This dress was made from seersucker fabric I bought at Joann's . I started by making the skirt piece long enough to wrap around my waist twice then I ruffled it and attached it to a wide waistband which closed in the back with two buttons.  The top piece was a trapezoid shape. I ruffled the top and the bottom then I attached the bottom to the waist band and the top to the collar piece that tied in the back.  This was one of my more complicated dresses, but I love all of the gathering and the summery look it has!

 Here are some pics of mine in blue, its the same seersucker fabric as Devons except a different color. This fabric was pretty cheap to begin with and then with our 50% off coupon Devon and I paid around $5 for this dress!
