For this skirt I used a SUPER soft knit fabric. I used to shy away from stretchy fabrics since it is hard to sew a straight line or accidentally stretch it when you sew a seam, but I just recently got a serger and a double needle and now I can't stay away!!! I got this idea from another great blog here. The only thing I did different was make it shorter and I ruched it with elastic thread. One other thing to keep in mind when sewing with knit fabric is instead of gathering I just sew a seam of elastic thread so it stretches with the fabric. (That is what I did with the gathers in this skirt) It is just the same as what you use for the smocked dress in an earlier post found here
