Design a Chic, Flowing Skirt with Fabric Strips
Your measurements, your choice of delicious fabrics, and some basic sewing skills are all you need
by Jennifer Stern

Learn to create your own designer skirt -- without any fitting hassles. This skirt calls for strips of soft, floating fabric, some fusible interfacing, and an invisible zipper, and goes together with little more than a basic straight stitch. Because it's made to your own measurements and doesn't use a commercial pattern, you'll never have to make adjustments or alterations.
