As the weather has been warming up, I've been on the hunt for the perfect lightweight skirt that I can wear day and night. On her blog,
Melissa Esplin shared this lovely
Chiffon Maxi Skirt Sewing Tutorial that is exactly what I need in my Spring/Summer wardrobe! Because
chiffon fabric is often sheer, Melissa uses two layers of fabric, one that is floor length and one that is knee length. If you wanted, you could make both layers full length, but I prefer this staggered length option.
This tutorial is so easy to follow with these helpful, beautiful illustrations that take you every step of the way! Below is a very informative graphic about constructing your own pattern. Melissa suggests using a curved ruler to make the round shape of the skirt.
We hope you enjoy this tutorial! We love to see what you sew up so please send 1-2 images of any project you make with Girl Charlee Fabrics to gcblog@girlcharlee.com and you might see your creation featured in our next KnitPicks!
Happy sewing!
