Striped maxi skirt tutorial

I am back with yet another maxi skirt tutorial. I have always loved maxis. I had c-sections with my pregnancies and elasticated skirts were the way to go for me. So I fell in love with maxis even more. They are comfortable and I think they will never go out of fashion, at least in my world. A couple of months ago, I came across a ton of knit fabric from fabric.com and so I have many more maxis to come..

First of all, I apologize for the poor quality of my photos.

I used a slightly different approach from my previous maxi skirts, here and here. Check out my toe nails, my 3 year old daughter painted them!

1. My fabric was 58" wide. My length from waist to floor is 43" long and I added 3 inches seam allowance for the bottom and elastic at the waist.
2. I folded my fabric in half (hotdog style), then in half again.
3. At the fold, I placed my old maxi skirt as a guide. I cut out the shape as illustrated in the picture.
4. Then I had 2 pieces. With the right sides in (facing each other), I sewed the 2 pieces together, the bottom and the top and added my elastic..

I love this particular knit fabric. It is a sherbet color, perfect summer color. It is light weight and thus very see-through and so I added a light weight slip inside.
