I found this style on Sprouts channel, the one with a talking chicken named Chicka. Chicka, Chicka chickadora! Anyway I got an old dress from swapmeet for 50 cents and I thought it's perfect for a ruffled skirt. It's hard to sleep Friday night and I ended up making this cute little skirt for my baby girl.
It is so easy to make. I measure it the same way I measured my previews post whisech is the tiered skirt but just a little more complicated.
Step1: Cut lining which is 5 inches bigger than the elastic divided by 2. The elastic should be measured exactly as the waist.

| this image shows the lining with the strips already sewn on it. this is the inside part of the skirt. |
Step2: Cut strips of fabric approx. 1" wide and do running stitch along the middle and gather. Make enough to cover your lining front and back.
Step3: Sew the strips of fabric that you gathered horizontally on the lining and continue until all space is covered.
Step4: Join the 2 pieces of material together by sewing along the sides with right sides facing each other.
Step5: Insert the elastic along the casing on the waist and sew the ends to secure.
And you're done with your ruffled skirt! I can't wait to make more.
