My inspiration for this mesh skirt ...
(D.I.Y) How to make this To-Go Long Mesh Skirt!
Lately, I've been obsessed with see-thru (or this mesh) fabric. So I decided to make something out of it. Instead of sewing this to one of my skirts, I made a "portable" or "to-go" one. Because ... if I do mess up (on the sewing), I don't have to throw any of my skirts away! And two, I can apply this "to-go mesh skirt" to any of my skirts! Oh how convince :] YAYAY! Let's begin the tutorial
Material:
- 2 or 3 Yards of Mesh fabric (2.99 per yard)
- Candles + Matches
- Threads + Needles
- Elastic Band
- Lint Roller
- Scissors
- Iron
Step #1: Cut the edges and use the lint roller to clean up the mess
Step # 2: I know this is weird, but I like to flame my edges! When melted, the plastic will stick the edges together. Just gently and quickly pass the edges through the fire for 1-2 seconds.
Step #3: Iron to create folds
Step #4: Now, sew the folds together
Step #5: For the waist, sew a fold that is big enough for the elastic to go through. Put the elastic band through the fold, and connect the two ends together.
Finished! My portable/ To-go mesh skirt
