Vertical Ruffle Skirt - Sew

I bought the material planning to make a horizontal ruffle, but bought the material on line. Not enough to make a maxi skirt. So I decided to make it vertical. I like it better.

Pre-ruffled fabric from fabric.com. Teal color.

This is just two pieces with pockets.  The bottom would have been hard to hem, do I just did an edging stitch but not on the edge, it was too hard, so I did it just of shy of the edge and trimmed the extra fabric. Very heavy fabric to work with.

This photo shows the closest color and the ruffles on it.  I had it hanging for two days so it would ruffle vertical better.

Purple and White Cotton Cloth

Altered a pattern from the old leaflet Dandy Disclothes.

Quick Pin Cushion

Made this before my wrist one (two posts back).

Two 6 inch squares.
Overcast edging, leaving an opening, stuff, and sew closed.

Scrap Fabric Dish Rag

Love this idea. I sewed stripes together and then to the dish rag.

I'd suggest cutting edges off the edges of the dish rag or use a larger one to cut of f. I tried to sew the outside edging together, but it was too thick.

Old towels would be perfect for this project. Upcycle.
