Today I tried (1st time) to make an a-line flair skirt, that hits the knees. Well, instead of getting that I got a straight skirt. I measured around my waist, and hips to get what the top should be, then I added four inches because that was the flair I wanted. Even though I am happy with the results I got, I still would like to know how to make a flair skirt. I want to make my own with different materials.
Before you say anything, I know it would be easier to go buy skirts. BUT, I am short, and wide, so I can never find skirts that fit. It only cost me $12 to make this skirt. To buy one and have it altered it would be about $30 (if not more). Oh, I also looked at the Simplicity and McCalls books and could not find what I was looking for, except for in itty bitty sizes.
Anyways.....to all you seasoned sewers out there....Can you give me directions to make different skirts, please. Since I am so short I need knee length skirts.
Thank you!! :)
