Description

mini skirt with elasticated waist and structured side pockets. I tried to do some instructions it didn’t work out. I am a real novice sewer, so I worked out how to make this by taking apart another skirt that I liked the style of, and working out how it was made up. So try doing the same – if I can do it, anyone can!

Material Notes

you could make this from any material as long as it will hold its shape. this is made from an old cotton dress, but based on a Topshop skirt made of a silky material.
