Active skirt

FREE PATTERN

This skirt is so simple to make and is great for looking stylish but still being able to go about every day activities. I came across the idea for this skirt by buying a 60p pack from abakhans and the stripy material bellow was in it.

You will need:

Spandex material
Sewing machine (set to zigzag stich)
Thread

Instructions:
First measure your hips. Cut out a piece of this fabric that is the length you just measured (DON'T add any seam allowence as the strech of the spandex is what will keep the skirt up) by 16cm. This will become your waist band.

Next cut out a piece of fabric that is between 1.5 and 2 times your hip measurement in width (this measurement will depend on how loose you want the main part of your skirt to be) by the length you want your skirt to be plus hemming allowence ( I would suggest a length that comes to mid way between your hip and your knee or just bellow).

Now sew the waist band (folded in half) onto the larger piece of fabric streching the waist band as you go so as to make ruffles in your skirt.

Once the last step is complete sew the two oposite sides together (right sides facing) so as to make a tube.

Finally hem your skirt. Now you have the perfect active skirt!

I hope this has inspired you!
