Strip Skirts

If you also want to be a Halloween (or Christmas or Valentines Day or Fourth of July, etc) dork too...here is the dimensions for the skirts. I purchased 1/2 yard of 5 different prints plus 1/2 yard plain black fabric for top and two packages of black double fold wide bias tape (quilt size). This gave me enough for 3 skirts.

For the size 6 skirt I used a total of 15 strips 5" x 14" sewn together with 5/8" seams and two black rectangles 14" x 4" for the top.
For the size 3 skirt I used a total of 15 strips 4.25" x 11"sewn together with 1/2" seams and two black rectangles 13" x 3.5" for the top.

Start by sewing all the strip together in the order you want. Sew the first and last strip together as well so it ends up being a tube.

Sew the bias tape around the entire bottom of the tube. Overlap the ends of the bias and turn under the outer end.

Sew together the two rectagles for the waistband with right sides together. Form a casing in the top for the elastic by turning under twice and stitching (leave and opening to thread the elastic thru). Slightly gather the top of your strips and adjust till it's the same length as the waistband. Sew the waistband and the strips with right sides together. Thread your elastic and adjust it to fit the waist size you need. Sew the elastic together and close the opening in the casing.

And VOILA...you are a halloween dork!!! :)
