Sewing Tutorial: DIY skirt

Hey all,
I've decided. I have multiple interests and most of it revolve around sewing, designing and art. I will start showcasing my variety of works here on this blog and aside from showcasing my works I would also be sharing some of my own tutorials on how to make simple tote bags, pencil cases, tops or even skirts. Some of the things I'll be sharing might not be mine but I will definitely put in the credits.

The first thing I'm going to share here is a tutorial by Brett Bara. This video tutorial was what my very first sewing project was based on. I have to thank Brett Bara for making sewing easy for beginners. I loved her video so much and knowing that her book was going to help me, I PURCHASED "Sewing in a straight line" by Brett Bara at www.bookdepository.com. Book depository is my FAVOURITE online bookstores where a wide-range of books are available and offered at affordable prices. Books are always in mint condition :)

Here is the video and all credits go to Brett Bara, next time I will share more on Brett's book. There are some other videos by Brett which will be like a useful guide to the book. Enjoy this video and happy sewing!


This is my version of this skirt. Mine is a long skirt though because I don't wear short skirts for obvious reasons.


For a long skirt the technique is the same but the material however is different. Cotton fabric is fine and it may be cute with the prints and all but it may look stiff. Try to find fabric that flows well to make long skirts really pretty. For long skirts you can use 2 yards worth of fabric.
