    Fat Quarter Skirt for Skirting the Issue Series

    Updated: May 24, 2019 by Melissa Mortenson · This post may contain affiliate links · This blog generates income via ads · 6 Comments

    I don’t know if you guys have had a chance to check out the Skirting the Issue Project over at Simple and Simon & Co, and Project Run and Play, but you should.
    Simple Simon and Co
    Elizabeth and Liz have come up with  a fantastic way for girls in the Foster Care system to receive a little something just of them that is handmade… a simple gift of something handmade for those that might not have Mom’s to sew for them.

    Today I’m sharing a tutorial on this wrap skirt. It’s made from only 4 fat quarters! It sews up quickly, so if you’re interested in contributing a skirt, it won’t take much time or money to make.

    Check out the tutorial over at Project Run & Play ! 

    You can visit their blog for more information on donating skirts.

      What a pretty skirt and I love the cause. My brother and sister-in-law have recently started fostering so this is close to my heart. Thanks for the tutorial.

      This skirt is the easiest thing I’ve ever made!! I made 2 using up my fat quarters and adjusted the size to fit a ladies size 12. I just added extra panels and they turned out amazing. Such a versatile pattern and I can’t wait to make another for the fall to wear with boots and a turtleneck!
