Say that five times fast-Five Minute Fitted Sheet Skirt Tutorial!
You know the fitted sheet I used to make my daughter's lounge pants? Well, while I was struggling to fold it (why is it so hard to fold a fitted sheet?) I realized I could use the elastic along the sides of the sheet to my advantage! I could make a skirt, with an elastic waistband! All I had to do was wrap a length of the elastic side around my daughter's waist, add a 1/2" seam allowance and measure the length I wanted. Then I cut the sheet, sewed the cut sides together and I was basically done. You also might want to hem it. I added a bit of vintage lace I had laying around. Even doing that though, I had the whole thing done in a few minutes. I even had enough time to make a matching skirt for Kathryn (the doll) and a kerchief for a cute, little head.

That's cute. When I first opened it - I thought that the first picture was mother and daughter in matching skirts. I think I need to wear my glasses!
Love the idea of using the already attached elastic!
I would have never thought about using a fitted sheet as a base for a skirt! What a clever idea! The skirt looks absolutely adorable on Ms. O.
