Tutorial: Make a Picture Perfect Skirt

This skirt by Heather from The Sewing Loft is Picture Perfect. That’s the name of the skirt and it’s an accurate description. It’s a simple gathered skirt with a tulle underlayer peeking out. It can be worn dressy or casual depending on mood. She shares a tutorial showing how you can make one. She gives cutting dimensions to make one to fit a girl’s size 12, but she shows how you can determine cutting dimensions to make one in any size based on your measurements. Her tutorial is part of the Skirting the Issue series organized by Simple Simon & Co. which features skirt sewing tutorials to encourage sewists to make skirts to donate to girls in foster care.
