The very first item I ever sewed was an ultra simple elastic waist skirt. Making something by hand brings a zip of pleasure, and since everyone deserves a proper zip, below is the first ever Ette Girl tutorial!
There are only four straight seems: nothing to it, I promise!
You will need:
Fabric (1/2 to 1 yard depending on size*)
Safety Pin
Needles
Iron
Waistband Elastic**
Sewing Machine & Thread
Let me know how it goes!
In other news, Ette Girl is running a $10 off dresses sale (woohoo!).
Enter code 'HappyNewYear'
And if you are swooning over the fabric in the tutorial, we will be listing several skirts in the same material later this week. Stay tuned!

*Cut 2 rectangles of fabric in the following sizes:
**Measure the waist size of your little one, and then cut the waistband elastic to the same length. It will fit correctly in the waist when you overlap and stitch the elastic together.
Size 2 10" by 18"
Size 3 12" by 18"
Size 4 14" by 18"
Size 5 16" by 18"
Size 6 18" by 20"
Size 7 20" by 20"
Size 8 22"by 22"
(sizes are approximate and should fit most)
Can't wait to try this!!
