Grey Knit Ruffle Skirt

February 13, 2013 by Kaysi 7 Comments

One of the hardest things about pregnancy for me is the weight gain.  I don’t really enjoy gaining 30 to 40 pounds.  I don’t love the way that I look.  I also don’t feel very cute, so I decided that I needed to make myself something cute and attempt to be a little more stylish so I could feel a little bit better about myself.  Skirts are so easy to make and so comfy to wear, so that is what I made.

This is how I made it:
I cut out two pieces of fabric.  I measured my waist and then added a couple of inches because I wanted it to be an a-line skirt.  I cut a rectangle and then cut the sides at an angle to make it a-line.

I sewed the sides together and flipped it right side out.

I cut strips that were 3” wide and ruffled them up by using my longest straight stitch and pulling the bobbin thread through to gather the fabric.

I pinned the ruffle onto the bottom, all along the bottom.  Then I sewed it on.

Next I took several 1” thick strips and ruffled them up.

I pinned the ruffles into the skirt in a fun design.  I only did the front, because I got lazy by the end….  I used lots of pins and then sewed the ruffles onto it.

Then I added some elastic for the top.

And that’s it.  It was super easy and it was super comfy, which means a lot when you’re pregnant.

And here is the whole outfit that I wear to church.  Even though I feel huge, for a moment I felt a little stylish too Smile.
