DIY Maxi Skirt.....AGAIN



SKIRT AVAILABLE HERE



Hello!!

What an insane weekend this was, I had no time for anything! I am almost done with the maxi tut but unfortunately I couldn't get it finished this weekend but you will have it soon. I wanted to show you what I wore today and my slight variations on the same pattern I used for the print maxi I wore last week, B5650.

 I wanted a wider waistband so I added 2" to the pattern and added belt loops so I could belt it and use it with my sash. I wanted the ties to be wide enough to create a big bow ;-) aside from those few changes the skirt pattern itself wasn't changed.

I added the pockets in this one and used a poly shantung for the fabric. I love that I can wear it casual and dress it up. I wore my American Eagle Denim Jacket, White Tee & My necklace is from Charlotte Russe

    I found your blog via pinterest and I'm in love. As a novice sewer, this is a really good project for me to enhance my skills. Question: did you use a lining with the shantung? I saw the other version of the maxi skirt you made and you said you used a lining with that one. What do you think about a black linen instead? I believe either one would give the structure you created so beautifully.

    Came across the photo on pinterest. You and your creations are adorable. I have made plenty of maxi dresses and I plan on making your maxi skirt. But I have one question, how do you get it on? Is there elastic in the band underneath the belt, or a hidden hook and eye closure? Thanks in advance for the reply.

    Hello! I discovered your lovely skirt on Pinterest today at 2:18 pm EST. I ran out to the fabric store, bought my material and am preparing to complete my sewing right now at 7:11 pm EST. I haven't sewn anything since college (2 decades ago)! Thank you so much for inspiring me with your love design.

    I was defeated by an INVISIBLE ZIPPER. I spent HOURS trying to get it right to no avail and was so disappointed I couldn't rock my skirt to the Bedroom Kandi launch party last week. I'm going to try it again this week and pray that I can figure it out so that I can wear it on my birthday next Saturday. I'm in the home stretch!!!!!

    I was thinking of getting your tutorial but I was wondering if it's a video like the free ones or the kind of tutorial you print up? your videos with all the tips are soooo helpful! also do you give suggestions for fabric choices etc? I like to have all my ducks in a row before I get started on a project :D

    How do you purchase the pattern? I have been looking around for a pattern like this for some time. Could you point us towards one that is like the one you made?

    I just stumbled upon your site.... It would be nice if you put together a page directed towards amazon with links to your favorite patterns...

    Thank you

      If there is no pattern listed then there is NO pattern. I made it from scratch, I ALWAYS link to EVERYTHING on my posts so if you read a post and there are links for a pattern then they will be there. You are free to purchase the tutorial on how to make my skirt by going to the tutorials tab.

    Hi Mimi, I fell in love with this skirt because it is the perfect piece to a summer OR better yet all winter wardrobe.
    Meranda, I actually found some patterns that you can tweak to make it look like the skirt and or your own. If you want I can list them for you. Obviously if its ok with Mimi??

    I am soo happy I came across your site!!! LOVE LOVE LOVE

    As soon as I saw this skirt I had to have it. I was finally able to buy the tutorial and when I started I couldn't stop. I think it came out well. I know where I made some mistakes but I love the skirt and I am definitely trying to make myself another in another color.

    Thank you!!

    Hi Mimi,
    I purchased your tutorial and it explained how to make the shorter skirt. I prefer length on my dresses and skirts. Can you explain to me how to calculate the measurements for the floor length version of the skirt, and also would I fold the fabric in the same direction? Thank you, you really inspire me!
