2: No Pattern Wrap Skirt Phyllis Rettke
This skirt needs no pattern! Using fabric with drape, such as a rayon, you will make a skirt in a matter of hours! The skirt width is your hip measurement plus 16 inches. The length of the skirt is the length you desire plus 3 inches. If you can find wide rayon or other “drapey” fabric, you can use the width of the fabric for the width of the skirt and purchase the length you need. If not you will use the length of your fabric as the width of your skirt. We start with a rectangle, press, topstitch, sew a pocket, elastic, and there you have it - a completed skirt! This is a very attractive skirt that wears well, and definitely does not look “homemade.”
All skill levels. You will need: Sewing machine,
basic sewing kit, and surge
protector.
