Who doesn’t adore a wrap-style tulip skirt? Super simple to create, cozy, and adorable! I took an anchor button, some leftover polyester polka dot fabric from the garment I upcycled, and got to work! I’m now in love with the burgundy, polka dot, and tulip skirt styles. Being able to wrap the skirt smaller or larger with each additional button hole makes it ideal whether you intend to lose or gain weight (during pregnancy or after giving birth, for example).

Instructions:
Cut the cloth in one of the shapes listed below, multiplying the top’s waist length by two and adding 12 to 16 inches for the front crossover.
The more curved the top, the more flowy it will be, thus this will be more fluid (like mine). Then I softened the sharp edges after cutting a thick and wide V shape. My skirt was therefore tilted much more than this.
Hem the edges, first.
2. Gather the skirt’s top hem, which should be the length of your waist plus 12 to 16 inches for the crossover.
3. Create a long, wide bias tape that is twice as wide as you want it to be, plus an additional inch. After folding and ironing one side in a quarter inch, fold it over and do the same.
4. Fold both ends over and iron them.
5. Attach the unfolded portion with pins and a straight stitch to the gathered top. Iron and fold.
6. Pin the waistband in place after folding it over to the other back side. Along the outside of the skirt, topstitch the edge of the waistband.
7. Depending on how far you want the skirt to cross over, add 2 buttons to the front of one side, spaced 6 to 9 apart. Then on the opposite side, make 2 button holes that are the same width across. To change waist size, create additional holes (if you have more bulkiness one day underneath or whatnot). Before moving on to step 5, stitch the button hole on just one side of the waist if you wish the buttons and button holes to be concealed.
