Materials:
*This is for a 3-6 mo. size skirt.
18″ of soft 1 1/2 inch elastic.
1/4 yard of cotton fabric
22 inch by 5 inch cotton knit fabric (from a T-shirt)
Prep all your pieces by cutting your fabric to these specifications.
Ruffle the top and bottom of the skirt.
Or liner.
Sew right sides together and turn right side out….
Sew together with a ONE inch seam allowance. Then open it up and sew the seam allowance down on each side.
Pin the other part of the liner to the top of the skirt.
Serge, or sew and then zig-zag around.
Now you’re ready to attach the elastic waistband.
Sew with a modified or regular zig zag stitch all the way around.
Stretch the elastic to match the skirt length as you sew. When you release the elastic it will gather the skirt fabric with it. If you stretch pinned section by pinned section, then your skirt will be evenly gathered.
Then flip right side out.
And you have a cute bouncy little bubble skirt.
