Big pocket skirt Tutorial

I've decided that I like skirts. They're perfect for

summer. So breezy and pretty. I need more. Here's one

that I made out of some cotton seersucker. Left overs

from baby boy's pants. Aww, match-y match-y! Cute.

Oh, and in case any of you were wondering, my legs are

so white because I'm wearing white stockings....ya, I only

wish I were wearing white stockings. They're just really that

mayo-ish. sigh-

What you'll need for this project:

1 - 2 yards of cute fabric

1/4 yard coordinating fabric (for the pocket lining)

1 -7" zipper

2 covered buttons

interfacing

The first thing you need to do is measure your waist where

you want the skirt to sit. I wanted mine up at my natural waist

line. Your skirt panels should be anywhere from one and a half

to two times your waist measurement. Then of course your waist

band should be 4 inches by whatever your waist plus one inch.

My pocket is eleven inches tall, 9-1/2 inches wide and the cut

out bit comes down 4 inches. (gosh, I hope I'm either making

sense or that you're having a nice nap!)

Turn pockets right side out.
