Tiered Skirts for My Baby Girl

Every day she grows a little more.  Mommy has to keep up. Plus, I have the extra fabric laying around taking up space anyways.

The skirts are pretty easy. I started with her waist measurement which was 18 and multiplied by 1.5.  That means my first tier needs to be 27 inches wide.   

Then do 27 x 1.5 for the next tier, which was 40 inches wide.
One more time for the last tier 40 x 1.5 = 60 inches wide.

Then to decide the length of each tier, you would measure the length from waist to knee.  My skirt needed to be 10 inches long.  I had 5 inches of the black on top and 2 inches of it went into folding over the waistband - another 1/2 inch gets taken for the seams.  Then 5 inches of each of the other two.   If you wanted each tier equal, you need to add extra to the top tier.  Anyways, I hope that makes sense.  If not, there is a detailed tutorial at Make It and Love It.

For this one, I just added a 3 inch ruffle to the bottom.  I took the width of the skirt and multiplied that same 1.5.  If you want it more ruffly, you can also multiply by 2.
