How to make a tiered skirt

Here is how to make a tiered skirt. It is super easy and it doesn't take long at all. Plus I finally have pictures!
To start off you are going to cut out five strips of fabric. The first one is just a little bit bigger than your waist (for the elastic) and the next one is 10" longer than the first. You might have to add fabric like I did in the picture so it is bigger. Then the third strip needs to be ten inches longer than the second and so on. Make sure to sew the pieces you add together.
Now make your casing on the first strip...
And hem the last one.
Next take your second strip and gather it until it matches the first strip.
Then sew it to the first strip right sides together

It should look like this.
Now do the same exact thing as before. Take the third one gather it until it matches the second one and with right sides together sew together.
Now it should look like this.
Do it again it looks like this...
Then this.

With right sides together sew short sides together making sure not to go through the casing.
Pull the elastic through the casing with a safety pin.
Sew through the casing.


And you are finished! Enjoy your awesome skirt that twirls!!!!!!
