The EASIEST kids skirt

July 14, 2010 7:00 am

Ok, so this is nothing genius. You have probably all made this already. But here’s the easiest 10 minute kids skirt.

Get a long piece of fabric, 1.5 times your child’s waist size. I made mine knee length. Sew the ends together.

With elastic thread, shirr the top of the dress. I went around and did it 3 times. Iron it after so it shrinks up.

Something I did was I cut the bottom of the skirt in an upside down “u” shape so it was longer on the side and shorter in the middle.

Then wear it. It’s that easy!


I know. You can’t even see the skirt that well. But my kids are way cuter. I promise. :)


I like these because they’re cute enough to dress up or wear as a swim cover up. Enjoy!

    Your girlies are adorable! Great shots. Love the ones of them lying upside down on the bed.
    Forget the kiddos….I think I’ll make one for me! Plus I only have boys…and well, my husband would not be pleased if I dressed them in skirts!:)
