Easy Peasy Skirt from Fitted Sheet

This was probably the easiest piece of clothing I've ever sewn. My mother-in-law gave me a bunch of material from a fitted sheet in a really pretty cornflower blue color. The sheet was the kind that had elastic all the way around, and not just on two sides or just the corners. She used the middle, flat part for something else and gave me the edges to use for whatever. I took one length of it and sewed it together for a skirt with a back seam. Then I simply hemmed the bottom. Voila! A skirt for my four year old. Sorry for the poor picture quality; Naomi is almost never still and these were taken on my phone's camera. 3.1 megapixels, but still not as quality as our regular camera.



Naomi trying desperately to be still.



We like the whole skirt over jeans thing here. It's warm and cute.



And what photoshoot of Naomi would be complete without this face?

  1. This is a great idea! We love skirts over jeans here as well. I love the girlishness of skirts, but when it gets cold, you have to have jeans or leggings on them, too. I'll have to try this for Emma! Great job!
