Pom-pom Skirt

I've been drooling over this skirt for sometime now, and I finally have a reason to make it!

First, you need a piece of fabric for your lining and a piece of sheer fabric.  Cut the sheer into a rectangle at least twice as long as the person you're making it for is around their waist, and twice as wide as you want it long.  So if Princess O's waist is 19inches I want to make it at least 38inches long and if I want it 9inches long, it needs to be 18inches wide.  From your opaque fabric you will want to make a rectangle that is twice as long as the waist measurement and as long as you want it. (in this example, 38inx9in)

Putting wrong-short sides together, sew up the short side.

Then flip it inside out and put right sides together and stitch up the same seam.  This creates a french seam which saves you from your fabric fraying and also looks really nice on sheer fabrics

Next, put right sides together and sew the short side of the lining, then hem one of the long edges of the lining fabric.  

Fold the sheer piece in half, wrong sides together and put your pom-poms in-between the layers.

Then pin the lining and sheer layers to each-other at the top (making a pocket for the pom-poms to hang out in.

Then stitch around once to hold it all together, serge the edge, then fold it over and make a casing for your elastic.

Then thread through your elastic and finish it off!

So fun and cute!  Princess O has worn this skirt several times, and it washes up just fine!  Even the pom-poms wash just fine!  Enjoy!  I'd love to see what you make!
