Lurking in the remnant bin at John Lewis I found a piece of fabric to commemorate the Royal Wedding. It cost about £5 and looked to be just enough to run up a couple of skirts for two little princesses to wear to the street party today.
These were such easy skirts to make, and light and comfortable to wear. It is a very simple rectangle of fabric, joined at the short edges to make a tube. I then turned over a narrow hem at the top, and did several (6/7) lines of shirring, using the edge of the presser foot as a guide. I dampened the shirring and pressed, to shrink it up, then hemmed the bottom, adding on a band of organza to trim, and it's done!
