How to make a skirt from fabric without sewing?

If you’re looking to create a one-of-a-kind skirt without having to pick up a needle and thread, there are a few no-sew methods you can use. The first is to repurpose an old t-shirt or piece of fabric into a cute and trendy tiered skirt. Or, if you’re feeling more adventurous, you can make a no-sew tutu skirt using tulle and a elastic waistband. Whatever route you decide to take, you’ll be able to create a unique and stylish skirt without having to sew a single stitch.

Summary Close

To make a skirt without sewing, you will need to use a method of fabric attachment such as fusing, gluing, or taping. First, select the fabric you will use for your skirt. Next, cut the fabric to the desired length and width. Then, attach the fabric to your waistline using your chosen method. If you are using fusing or gluing, be sure to follow the instructions on the package. Once the fabric is attached, you can wear your skirt!

Ruffled Maxi Skirt With Elastic Waist

Ruffled maxis look great if made the correct way. This one would take 3 houses to make with 3-4 yards of white cotton knit and 1 yard of wide anti-roll elastic. Use another long skirt that you already use to act as the template for this one. It has ruffles placed after every 8 inches in four rows. Marvelous! 2littlehooligans

How to cut the Flouncy Bouncy Skirt Pattern

Start by downloading the pattern file from Craftsy. This includes the basic info about the pattern and the pattern pieces you'll need for this skirt.

Assemble the pattern and use your tape measure to measure the widest part of your hips – usually around 6-8 inches down from your waist, but may vary. Take note of this measurement and check the size chart. Cut your pattern to match the size of your hips.

You can either cut your pattern out or trace it. Here you can see me using both options. Tracing your pattern might be a good option if you plan to make the skirt in different lengths or sizes, one for you, one for your daughter perhaps.

NOTE – the finished length on this skirt is 20 inches, including a 1/2 inch hem allowance. If you want to make it longer or shorter, adjust your pattern piece before cutting out – use the outer circle hemlines as a guide to lengthen or shorten.

Fold your fabric and place the edge of the pattern on the fold where shown. Cut two top pieces and two bottom pieces all on the fold of your fabric.
