Tutorial: Easy elastic waist lace skirt

Justine from Sew Country Chick shows how she made this beautiful lace skirt for her daughter. Even with a layer of lace and lining, it’s an easy project thanks to the simple elastic waist band. She says she made this one in just an hour, just the right size project for a busy mom. She made this one for her tween-aged daughter, but this style of skirt works beautifully for all ages baby to adult. Get the tutorial at Sew Country Chick.
