Skirting the Issue: Jen from iCandy

Today we are excited to have one of the coolest people we know sharing one of her awesome tutorials with us----Jen from iCandy!

Hi! Jen here, of iCandy handmade.  

Autie and I are so excited to be a part of this

Skirting the Issue series.  

Over at iCandy, we have posted quite a few skirt tutorials; 

they are one of our favorite things to make!  

Here are a few:

Semi-Homemade

Today we came up with a new (to us) idea!  

As we were trying to think about what kind of skirt to make,

I thought of using a pillowcase. 

I have made dresses and nightgowns out of them, why not a skirt??

The options are endless- vintage flowers, lace, plain with added embellishments, even characters!  

You could even use regular fabric, if you don't have a cute pillowcase.

I used a lace-edged one I had in my stash, and Emily and I are very happy with the way it turned out.

It is an elastic/drawstring waist combo, with eyelets.

Want to make one??

Tutorial 

Materials: 1 pillowcase or fabric equivalent 1/2 yd 1" elastic about 1-1/2 to 2 yards 1" ribbon. 2 large eyelets and either kit or tool to set them in OR make buttonholes

Stitch on marked lines.

Thanks again for having us, ladies!!
