tiered maxi skirt tutorial (+ thrift haul!)

IYKYK. I've wanted a skirt like this for awhile. I think she turned out perfectly!

The fabric I used was thrifted. I would guess to make a skirt of your own, you'd need a twin or queen sized top sheet (or 8-9 yards of fabric). You also need 1" elastic

The other videos i saw were really complicated and didnt tell how to adjust the sizing and it overwhelmed me into thinking i couldnt do this. Thank you sooo much this tutorial was literaly like a fresh breath of air.

Love this! I’m obsessed with white skirts and this is such a perfect DIY sewing project

Your personality is EVERYTHING. I love your videos so much!

Hey just an idea, it looks like your sewing machine likes to fight with you while sewing 💔
Get a silicone- nonstick mat for cooking and place it under, I think that'll really help!
Not that you asked, don't mind me trying to be helpful 🙈

[AllThingsWithAmber]

Thank you for this!! This helps me so much! Also I really love your hair in combination with your face shape. Seriously has me wanting to go short again!

I never really cared much about this kind of maxi skirt, but watching you make one and turn out so cute made me want to have one too!! but thinking about that much hemming and gathering is intimidating

[annabelr]

Wow love thank you so much for sharing… I love it and I am off to make!

[AliciaVenter]

Love this video! If you have more sewing adventures, please share!! ❤

[evilinjuanes]

I’m in the middle of making mine and now I want to make another one in white 😅

Hi! Im in love with the way you made the skirt! I have about the same measurements as you but the fabric I have doesn’t cover even half the width needed for the last tier. Even if I get extra fabric (45 in width each) I barely make it! Any advice would be helpful!🥺🥺🥺

[forgotmyhomework]

Is it okay to make the circles in halves? Like to make the most of the fabric i have i would like to cut each tier half half and then sew to make the circle. Sorry if i didnt explain myself well, english is not my first language. Thank you for the tutorial!

[sierraconway-]

Can I use my widest hip/butt measurement instead of my waist? A common problem with skirts and dresses for me is that the waist fits, but the skirt looks oddly fitted at my butt. Thanks! 😊
