how to make a bubble bow skirt!

(sorry, no actual pic, but the pic above will be the result)

Materials:

- sewing necessities

- elastic

- scrap fabric (to make bow)

- stretch knit fabric

1. Cut a piece of fabric to go around your waist (with sewing allowance) and however long you want it to be.

2. sew each of the ends together on the reverse side of the actual print pattern

3. fold 1 inch of the bottom up and sew (to create a casing to slip the elastic through to create that "bubble" effect) make sure to leave a little space not sewed where you can slip the elastic through

4. run the elastic through the casing (tip: use a safety pin at the end to go through the casing easily)

5. sew the ends of the casing and the elastic

6. flip the skirt inside out

7. Pretty much done! now you can just hand sew a bow where u like! ^_^
