So, incase you did not know: I’ve slightly little bit of a factor for taking Christmas tree skirts and remodeling them into woman skirts. I have been doing it For-Eve-Ah. In truth, you possibly can examine them out right here…

And, I am certain you possibly can consider this, there’s even yet another that I did not doc right here on my weblog! I taught a gaggle of instructor pals years in the past in an after-school stitching class the way to make one! However…it has been some time. And, since then, I’ve began creating extra video. So I assumed it was time for me to replace this DIY and create a video how-to! Right here ya go:

* Get a skirt that is 48″ and it must be lengthy sufficient. There are tons on Amazon however…since Christmas is shortly approaching, examine these After Christmas gross sales for tree skirts when they’re tremendous marked down!

* Measure your waist and add 2 for the seam allowance. 

* Fold the skirt 4 instances so you’ve gotten 8 items of cloth folded over.

* Take your waist measurement and divide by 8.

* Utilizing a tape measure, begin on the high of the folded skirt and make your manner down till you hit that measurement throughout the highest of the triangle (the video reveals this finest). 

* Use a small spherical plate and chalk to attract the curve onto the material and minimize.

That is crucial steps to recollect as you start. In the remainder of the video, I share the way to make a waistband and add a ten” zipper. Though, to be trustworthy, when you want a zipper how-to, I like to recommend watching one other video as I did not movie a portion of that! I swear it hit file! So sorry. 

Simply bear in mind: nobody is gonna get that shut and see small stitches that may drive you bonkers. I imply, shoot, even when you skip the zip and use VERY STRONG velcro (we do not need any wardrobe malfunctions!), you may be positive. 

Merry Christmas, pals!

BY THE WAY…I’ve not formally shared right here regardless that I have been that means to…did y’all know I wrote one other ebook?! I lastly turned my poem Larry the Line right into a kids’s ebook! I made it longer, illustrated it and…right here it’s! It is gotten over 80 5-star evaluations from academics and I am simply so thrilled. You will get a duplicate right here, if ya like!
