Ushoshi made a simple easy to sew elastic waistband skirt with a beautiful black and cream floral print corduroy and added black lace to the hem line.

Here is Nicki's long denim skirt she made with patches.

Alycia and her "Broom" skirt she made of brown and pink calico prints.  She designed and made this with no pattern.  A great deal amount of gathering was involved. Great job Alycia.

April designed and made this "Broom" skirt by taking her waist measurements for the top section and adding 8" for gathering.  Then she added 8" more inches for each section to come up with a four layered broom skirt.  She added soft white lace to the bottom for the right feminine touch.

A "pool skirt" - This is a simple wrap skirt with ties to hold it closed.  This was designed in mind to wear as a bathing suit cover up.

Sara shows her skirt she made for the 1st day of school. It is made from soft wool blend fabric with a blue, teal, and pink plaid.  She trimmed the hem with teal lace.  Wonderful job Sara. Learn to make your own skirt pattern.

Leslie was looking for a "flared" skirt with some detail.  So she designed this adorable skirt.  She also wanted to challenge herself and make a more advance skirt with a zipper and yoke waistband.

Here is a photo of the awesome tie-dyed skirt that Brianna made. Notice the bottom hemline, it is a "V" to one side. This is the easiest skirt pattern available that we recommend for beginner designers and sewers. You can make one too!

To Learn More About Making Your Own Clothes we suggest Christine Haynes book Chic and Simple Sewing .  It's our favorite sewing book to use for beginners in our studio, and patterns are included.  We also recommend Project RUNWAY DVDs to view as an excellent guide for fashion design.
