Hello Everyone! Today’s DIY is an easy paperbag maxi skirt. There is no zipper required. Yay! In the tutorial I explain how to calculate your fabric needed and I explain all the different measurements. If you’re a visual learner and would like a measurement guide, you can find the guide here. The pocket pattern can be found here.
For this tutorial I decided to use a medium weight denim, but the fabric options for this skirt are endless. I picked up this denim from Stonemountain & Daughter Fabrics in Berkeley, CA. Some fabric suggestions are listed below. The next time I make this skirt, I plan to use wax print fabric. As you all know I’m obsessed with wax prints. I’d also like to make one using linen or crepe. What fabric would like to use to make this skirt? Comment below and let me know. Happy Sewing!

Thank you for the feedback, I’ll add the bangles to the list! I’m almost done editing the necklace tutorial, I can’t wait to share it.
I’m loving this new skirt design Montoya!!! You go girl – do your thing and I’m right down with you doing it too! My daughter fell in love with it – this is going to such a hit with teenagers. I’m making her the first one to wear it in my Brooklyn NY neighborhood. Will send photos when done.

Thank you for the support Sandra! I receive it!!!
This is an absolutely adorable skirt. I use to make these all the time for my daughter when she was much younger, probably about five years ago. You make me want to bring this style back again! Love it!
