Hello Everyone! This weeks DIY is a quick and easy skirt. All you need is one yard of fabric and 30 minutes. This project is perfect for those who are just learning how to sew. A couple of months ago I taught 3 of my fourth graders how to make this skirt. These young ladies bought the coupon ‘Sewing Lesson with Ms. Mayo’ from the student store using their hard earned ‘Mayo Money’. I turned my classroom into a sewing studio for a couple of hours. I hauled all of my supplies to campus and let the girls choose some fabric from my stash. We had an amazing time. Create this skirt using the step by step tutorial below.

Hi Montoya! Just found your blog and this post. I LOVE your index card trick for marking off an allowance. I always end up eyeballing when I turn up a hem, and when I don’t get it right–ugh. Messy. Ironing over a marked card will make it so much easier.
Got your blog bookmarked now and eager to see what you’re up to next. I’m already mentally inventorying my fabric stash for something just right for your gathered midi and half-circle skirt tutorials.

Hi. I like to use 100% cotton fabric. Ankara, African wax print is my favorite.
