Adventures of Lauren: Pink ruffle skirt DIY with liner

Today I made my own skirt. No patterns! Yay! Found this pink ruffle fabric remmant on sale at Joann Fabrics. Super excited about it. And it was just enough to make a skirt.

I used a skirt I already had as a template. Folded the ruffle fabric in half and prepared to cut.

I added about a 1/2 inch seam allowance to the cut fabric. Used my handy ruler-I love that thing! I saved the rest of the fabric probably for some bibs-Don't know yet.

Now this fabric was a tad on the see through side-something I don't want for a skirt. I had some bronze-brown spandex in my fabric stash. I traced the pattern with some chalk and then cut.

I sewed the pink portion of the skirt at the side seams which was hard with those ruffles actually-I was surprised. And then repeat for the brown spandex.

I put the skirts together and sewed the top of the waist band. I think turned it right side out and left a little bit of brown band to give the edge a finished look. I stretched the fabric while I sewed it BTW...
